it may be just me, but this seems just more to confuse the subscriber.
i mean, sometimes it seems a full time job explaining listname@...
listserv@... , listname-request@... , owner-listname@..., and no,
listname-request@... on majordomo is not the same as listname-request@...
on listserv, and for listproc that should be...

if we have trouble getting them to distinguish between the list address
and the listserv address, because they insist on calling the list a
listserv, will there not be more confusion with this?  for listserv
has it not always been that listname-request@... is for getting in
