Depending how majordomo is set up, yes. One of its options is a feature to allow certain administrative tasks to be done by sending messages to the list by e-mail. Majordomo watches for certain keywords to determine if it's an administrative command. Such a message does not go to the list members, but is processed by majordomo itself--IF the message also contains a password, and if the syntax is correct. However, if a list member unintentionally uses one of the keywords, the message simply dies in transit. In a majordomo installation, this feature is on by default. I was surprised when we uncovered the fact by accident on the lwca.org reflector, since it's a potential security weakness. I suspect the manager of this reflector became aware of it through majordomo error messages when you attempted to post previously. If so, he has now turned it off, because Mike WE0H managed to post a quote containing a couple of the keywords just a few hours after your "Forbidden word?" query. 73 John
