Majordomo can often be a bit of a headache to admin. In my opinion it
is a bit too much if all you are doing is managing one or two mailing
lists.
Just start using +adressing to make your filters more usefull.
Also since Nate Tanner has the lists of addresses in a text file he can
simply point sendmail at it as a list alias:
mylist: :include: /home/path/to/my/list
