OK, but none of this precludes using a wrapper.

Then find a wrapper that does. Try the current beta of Majordomo in
ftp.sgi.com:/other/majordomo and grab the wrapper from there. It does some
setting of the environment which is unnecessary but it's secure and you can
edit out what you don't need. (I recommend the beta because the code for
the wrapper is slightly cleaner than that of older versions.)
