This question is better suited to
majordomo-users@greatcircle.com. Perhaps you should subscribe to
that list?

In any event, majordomo 1.94.1 has support for taboo_header and
taboo_body regular expressions, which will send the post to you
for approval if it matches any of the regexps:

      # taboo_headers        [regexp_array] (undef) <resend>
      # If any of the headers matches one of these regexps, then the
      # message will be bounced for review.
taboo_headers       <<  END
/wherefore\@hotmail\.com/i
/buritohead\@aol\.com/i


It works very well.

Jeff
