Garrett Wollman once stated:

=It is impossible for everyone to keep track of each individual list
=member's preferences.  It is far better for you to simply filter out
=the extra copies.  Many people prefer to have mail that is actually a
=reply to them arrive with their address explicitly in it (e.g., for
=filtering) or simply to arrive faster than the mailing-list mail does.

Perhaps, majordomo should be taught to not add a recipient listed
in the maling list if the recepient is already in CC or TO. If you
DO want the recepient to receive two copies, you can still use BCC,
which majordomo will not see anyway.

=A duplicate message filter can be consed up easily with procmail (in
=fact, it's one of the examples in the man pages):

Yes, but why generate extra traffic? Internet bandwidth grows much
faster then actual connection speeds, because it is missused too
often :(
