In general its unique across all lists, no matter the MLM used (Yahoo groups are the big exception, sadly). RFC 2369 headers may or may not be there. Checking To/CC missed BCC's and confuses direct vs list messages for non-reply-to-munging lists. Sender, with rare exception, is reliable as a distinguishing factor for all lists. > In any event, I don't see changing the Sender: header any time soon, > so I'd like to say it's fixed in stone <3.0 wink>. I wouldn't rate changing Sender as much of a problem. Its an upgrade. 3rd party unrelated systems are expected to have to adapt -- and this is a pretty minor adaption. ObNote: Actually my procmail filters are sufficiently generous with their regexes that the new pattern gets matched just fine, so there!
