This may not have even been intentional..
If I were you, I would reconfigure majordomo to not put the
"comment" parts of addresses in the list, just the functional address.
Eg, instead of:
"Someone" <Someone@???>
"Someone else" <Someone@???>
"John Q. Person" <JohnQ@???>
Use this:
<Someone@???>
Someone@???
<JohnQ@???>
This way will work with or without the <> characters around the
addresses..
This should fixup the existing file to follow that convention (and
throw away any addresses that dont currently have <> marks,
unfortnately) (I havent tested it though):
# cat listfile | tr " " "\n" | grep "^<.*@.*>$" > newlist
