Information ===================================================================

Most people that use Majordomo with the rules imposed by the resend script
use another, supposed to be secret, MTA include for the real outgoing mails
instead of a dedicated bulk mailer.

But if you know the name of the real include you can simply bypass all
rules that resend enforces.

Lets take a reallife example and look at some headers:

Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by kxxxxxxaxxe.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) 
id QAA21181 for linuxde-outgoing; Tue, 21 Mar 2000 16:30:36 +0100 

the real name is linuxde-outgoing.. mails sent there can be of
arbitary size, and  bypass moderation, headers, footers, banned words,...
