Hi All, Sorry for the noise... but a number of people have started sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], CCing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- resulting in duplicate emails being sent to this end.
If possible, can people kindly pick one, or the other -- and not both?
Incidentally, I've fixed the problem with using robin.gentoo.org... I could've filtered on other headers...but what I've done instead is put the following in my .mailfilter file (Yes, I use maildrop here):
if (/Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/) { xfilter "sed -e 's/$MATCH3/@lists.gentoo.org/'" }
if (/To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/) { xfilter "sed -e 's/$MATCH3/@lists.gentoo.org/'" }
(There's probably a way to combine those into one... but I can't be arsed looking. ;-)

The problem is in the lack of standardization between mailing lists. I've gotten used to just hitting reply-all instead of just reply because a number of lists I'm on don't set the reply-to header like the Gentoo lists do. The first time I saw the too addresses in my recipients, I thought maybe one was some kind of backup list system, but then I saw my reply double-posted.
I'll try to keep an eye on what's going on in each list that I reply to, but I don't think this is really going to be solved until someone hammers an RFC on it down the Internet's throat. (But even that may not be enough. After all, Outlook Express never did use dash, dash, space to start a signature.)
