Actually, Majordomo seems to handle bounces on it's own.  One of the 
problems with the current Majordomo, is that it uses Perl4 syntax, and 
makes no use of the many good modules now available.  There are a host of 
things that could probably be done better with LWP.  Porting to MacPerl 
becomes very much tied up in porting to Perl5.
