that verify as good?)

In general, I think it's a good extension for majordomo. It may not get
used on this list, but it makes new tools available for future lists.
Has anyone looked at using Cryptix-extended perl and their PGP lib? I
haven't got the Cryptix extensions to build on my linux box yet.
