I don't know about that, perhaps your outgoing filter is just much
more complex than mine or something.  I've had good luck with one rule
for each mailing list, and then at the end:

  to-file ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist tag envelope dated=14d from bare
  to-file ~/.tmda/lists/wildcards tag envelope dated=14d from bare

To cover my whitelisted contacts.  Everyone else gets a dated address.
I don't use bare=append, but just add to the whitelist or wildcards
file with tmda.el if I think I might be conversing with this person in
the future, and once a series of exchanges establish their permanent
address.  I don't use keyword addresses or sender addresses.

Pretty simple I think.  Made simpler by the fact that I now read
nearly all my mailing lists off Gmane.

I'm at a loss.  However, I'd like to try and convince you to rely on
your outgoing filter using X-TMDA only on special occasions (i.e, as
it was intended).  I think in the end you'll save yourself pain and
suffering this way.  Some specific examples of where you've run into
problems in the past using this methodology might be a good start.
