Ah, good point. That solves that one.

Prompted by James' posting I've just found the wherami in majordomo.cf.
I did of course have a look before posting but it's so long since I set
it up I was looking in the wrong place (I was looking in the individual
lists config and had forgotten about majordomo.cf).

As you imply, and which I was overlooking, since the incoming mail has
had it's incoming address rewritten, majordomo will not even see it as
w-c-f.org.uk, so in a sense nothing changes except for the info in
majordomo.cf

Thanks
