Not really, I want my gentoo-user e-mail to goto my Gentoo-user account.
If they reply to the list and cc me directly I now I have multiple copies
of the e-mail.
That is why I use the following recipe:
DEFAULT=/home/chrisf/mail/.mbox
MAILDIR=/home/chrisf/mail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
# Rebuild messages to verify the From address is valid
:0 fhw
| $FORMAIL -I "From " -a "From "
# Copy the message to a backp directory before doing anything
# with it. .backup should be a directory under $MAILDIR
:0 c
.backup
# This keeps your .backup directory clean, making sure that you
# only hold the last 100 messages in backup
:0 ic
| cd $MAILDIR/.backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,100d`
# This keeps a list or messageid's, as well as deletes any
# messages that were sent to a mailing list and were also CC/BCC'd
# to you. Will also keep you from getting other duplicates.

I've found the "proper" way to do things is the way that works the best
for you. Personally I hate being CC'd on list mail because I'm already
getting one of the messages already. If you reply just to me and not to
the list I will still get the message. Which is fine.
