Yes, the RaQ3 ships with this warning enabled.  On the RaQs majordomo
does not run as its own user.  And adding a user that is more than
just the majordomo user to the trusted list seems a little insecure.

No, you did nothing wrong.  This is default functionality.  Most
mail clients don't show the X-* headers.
