If so then you're doing a major disservice to your list members. Majordomo
servers that allow unrestricted access to the "who" command are constantly
abused by spammers to gather address lists. They're very attractive
targets because list owners are generally pretty good about keeping the
lists clean of bad addresses. By leaving your majordomo installation wide
open you're just about guaranteed that your users have become the target
for a wide variety of scams and unsolicited junk email from now on as
their addresses get passed along to every "10 Million email addresses on
1 CD" scam out there.
