Already, the item: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mailing_lists_Etiquette_(Rules)#Cross_Posting is now reading: quote In our case, this is not a matter of etiquette: the mail server doesn't handle it. If you want to send the same message to more than one Mandriva list, you'll have to send it to them individually. (The gory detail is that the server sends all copies of the mail to the list that is listed first in your To:/CC: fields.)
