Ok, I was thinking of that. The problem is I want messages from the
mailing list sent to the robot, all except for the messages the robot
itself sends. Basically what I'm doing is turning a message area on my
BBS into a mailing list and don't want the messages from the BBS going
*back* to the message area on the BBS because ezmlm sends the poster his
message back. I want to avoid duplicate messages in the BBS message area.

Yeah, I installed ezmlm-idx so that isn't the problem. Nice added
features it provides... =)
