No, please don't. There's no point. This list has been running just
fine for two years without anyone doing this. All mail from this list
already comes with this header:
  Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any decent mail software can filter based on this.

This is very good advice for all email.

One last request, specific to java-linux. For every mail you write,
consider two things: "is it about Java?" and "is it about Linux?". If
it's not about both topics, do not post it here. Mail about Java in
general or Linux in general have no place here.
