Somebody probing for majordomos?

A guy at andronix.com is probing for majordomos, at at least two domains
here that have never run majordomo.  Odds are high it's an author building
a directory of majordomos (or an extreme forgery - check out the .sig), but
if I were running majordomo, and hadn't installed the security fixes, I
would do so in a hurry.  Even if this guy is clean, it probably means that
his directory will be published at some point.

Mail was received with an envelope return address of "felix!walstib", which
bounces.  One sample message follows:
