No, it's simply what happens if someone believes they can list several list names in a single subscribe command, e.g.: subscribe freebsd-hackers freebsd-chat Majordomo understands this as "Please subscribe freebsd-chat to freebsd-hackers" and sends an authentication request to freebsd-chat. In Ye Good Olde Days, before X-Loop and authentication, it would just obey with no questions asked, and everything on -hackers would be echoed to -chat. The really fun thing to do is to subscribe a list to itself, and watch the mail server climb the wall. Doesn't work anymore though, because Majordomo will reject mail with "X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG" in the headers. Kinda takes the spice out of life, doesn't it?
