Hmm.  So you have bad guys on your server?

You want to modify some of the following config options in every list (there is one
for each site) on your server:

advertise
noadvertise

You probably want to modify the following two also since, they can provide the email
addresses of everyone on your box - at least to anyone familiar with Cobalt's site
and list naming conventions.  Heck, if you give shell (telnet or ssh) access I
believe any user can grab all of the email addresses on your system from aliases and
virtusertable, but now I'm getting off topic.

which_access
who_access

Check the majordomo site (http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/) for extensive
documentation.  You'll probably also want to get a global search and replace tool to
save you some time modifying your files.  I like rpl, which I believe is from
www.laffeycomputer.com.
