Its pretty straightforward for interested perties to get a list of everyone
on a mojordomo mailinglist even if the who command is disabled as long as
we have our old friend sendmail and his trusty sidekick expn.

I have xed out the names but you get the picture. no need to go through the
effort of watching a list for posts or searching through someone's old mail.

If you have any complaints email:

expn owner-cypherpunks-unedited

if toad.com modified /etc/sendmail.cf to include:

Opnoexpn,novrfy

this wouldn't work. not much of a big mystery there...
