imho we should disable *any* special handling of posts to the mailing
lists. Majordomo (at least the 1.x series) can be configured to respect
command keywords only for the xxx-request management lists, and to
ignore command keywords in the corresponding working lists.

fwiw, I got bit by this myself when setting up a couple of small mailing
lists at home. Very annoying, and very unexpected.
