I would say that this is correct behaviour. If someone includes your mail address either in To: or Cc:, it's intended that you get a second copy besides the one going to the list. If you don't like this, then complain (to the author of the posting). BTW, it should be easy to sort out mails going to oneself _and_ the list with procmail. As an example, I have these lines in my procmailrc: ---8<--- :0 H * ^Delivered-To: mailing list gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx* list-gimp-developer ---8<--- They match on all postings to gimp-developer which passed through the mailing list system. If I don't want double mails, I can place a rule after it, like this (not tested, beware): ---8<--- :0 H * ^TO_ gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /dev/null ---8<--- This drops all mails that go to the list, but didn't pass the mailing list system. Or did I misunderstand you?
