“majordomo – n: a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or
takes charge for another. From latin ‘major domus’–‘master of the
house.’“Majordomo is a program which automates the management of
Internet mailing lists. Commands are sent to Majordomo via
electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintenance. Once a
list is set up, virtually all operations can be performed remotely
by email, requiring no intervention upon the postmaster of the list
site…”
