I think you'd have to edit the source code to turn that off, Bob, 
although see if you can do something with $majordomo_dont_reply

I "solved" the problem with spam to majordomo by changing the alias of 
majordomo to something else. Of course, I had to change the majordomo.cf 
to match the new alias.
There is no longer a majordomo@ on my server.  Mail to majordomo just 
gets a normal BOUNCE message, which usually results in a "double-bounce" 
- and those get routed to /dev/null
