Viktor, it is friday morning and my brain isn't functioning as well as
it could (well that is my excuse anyway), so I am not quite sure I
understand you. Are you saying I could get multiple deliveries in a
case like so:

mylist-approval memail.com
mylist-outgoing-request memail.com
mylist-owner memail.com
mylist "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l mylist -h mail.com mylist-outgoing"
mylist-request "/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper request-answer mylist "
mylist-outgoing :include:/var/spool/majordomo/lists/mylist, directfoobarmail.com
owner-mylist memail.com
owner-mylist-outgoing memail.com

and the directfoobarmail.com soft fails? Is that what you mean by
other "direct" recipients? Or do you mean when someone sends an email
to mylist and anotherpersonmail.com (say) and the
anotherpersonmail.com soft fails? Or something else? sorry!

Thanks

Matt
