I've noticed the bogus sub attempts seem to have stopped at my site.  Have
they stopped elsewhere?  I'm wondering, because the attempts ceased at
about the same time I modified Majordomo to include the original request
headers, and an explanation, in the "Majordomo results" messages.  

My reasoning behind this mod is that it makes it easier for the recipient
of bogus subs and other requests to track the original source of the list
commands.  This should make my site a little less tempting to hackers,
because they are now not entirely anonymous from the victim's point of view.

If you want to see what I've done, send any of the usual Majordomo commands
to majordomo@armchair.mb.ca.
