Yes.  It's very similar.

One needs to decide what factors one cares about the most.  I said a few 
threads ago that I don't think there is a completely satisfactory solution.  I 
think the possibilities are roughly:

1.  Fix lists so that signatures survive.

2.  Have MLMs change the domain of the message.

3.  Have mail get rejected/discarded/etc.

There are variants of all three possibilities, but none that will satisfy 
everyone.
