I think the problem is the archiving software. I know I've had this 
problem historically with another majordomo list, but they now use 
hypermail for archiving. If you look at their archives now the 
hypermailed messages don't include any domain names. See some of the 
lists at eda.org, for example, which is all majordomo-driven.
