I was assuming that first SMTP server and MLM's SMTP server are the same
server, because otherwise - as I wrote - the question is not relevant at all
in my opinion. In this case the SMTP server sends one copy directly to the
recipient, and passes another one (usually via some internal mechanism, like
aliases in case of mailman) to the MLM. MLM should send that copy to all
list members, not paying attention to whoever may be in the "To:" header.

I think we should not talk here about "additional" copies as this may be
misleading. "Additional" copy would be a third copy in this case (first one
has been sent directly to the recipient, second one is from the mailing list
and third one would be "additional", ie. sent to recipient directly by MLM
in addition to the copy that comes from the mailing list). There is no such
copy in mailman, AFAIK. This setting refers to whether the *second* copy
(the one from the mailing list) should be send to the recipient or not
(because mailman assumes that he already got his direct copy).

Yes, you can specify a default for this setting when you create a mailing
list in mailman. There is also a global default which is used as a default
value for per-list default value :)

But in my understanding that was not the OP's question - the question
referred to the "direct" copy, not to the mailing list one...
