Hey, guys:

Can someone either in Mailman or in a front-end MX box handling the mail before 
it gets fed to the listserver, filter out obvious duplicate aliases for the 
same list?  For an example, see:

Message-id: <60526.201.129.30.187.1124156301.squirrel@201.129.30.187>

...with these headers:

To: questions@freebsd.org
Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org

	-----

One solution ought to be a specific Mailman tunable, which if one goes to the 
list admin page, and appends /?VARHELP=privacy/recipient/acceptable_aliases to 
the URL, should be:

"acceptable_aliases (privacy): Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit 
to or cc destination names for this list."

Repeat as needed with the other lists to reduce needless multiposting.
