We currently have those clueless OS users run their own. Seems that has not
been working out very well. If they are clueless enough to run such an OS,
do you really want to trust what they send out on the network they are on?
So, we decided that we want an e-mail scanner for in- and outgoing mail that
we can be sure works (as good as these things actually do), without trusting
that each person gets it right.

I remember that majordomo was a bit of a pain. It could just have been that
I did not become one with the config.
