I think majordomo already has a command to do that. It was discussed
somewhere on one
of these lists in the last few months, but I can't seem to find the
discussion now.

I thought someone was going to create a link on the maillist archive page
that would provide some visibility to this buried gem, but I cannot find
that, either. Maybe this vague recollection can jog someone's memory.
