Hi,

I am starting a moderated mailing list using majordomo. At the moment all
the messages are coming in with a BOUNCE subject line. I have to manually
strip the old headers and add an approved line. 
Is there anyone with any experience on this out there? I could really use
a smart send filter to do this for me.

Thanks,

Simon.

You're in luck today.  You've just run into a guy who does this every day
of his life.  I hope you're on a UNIX machine.

Pine includes the pipe feature which allows you to pipe the current
message to a UNIX program.  Included with majordomo is a program called
"approve" which will automatically approve any message that is piped to it
by puttin approve header in its correct spot.  These two features combined
allow you to approve messages on the fly in Pine by piping them to the
"approve" script supplied with majordomo.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Sincerely,
