	well.....we have a 90% percent solution to this problem.

	as it stands now, if you send email to more than 2 FreeBSD
	mailing lists (such as test@freebsd.org, chat@freebsd.org
	and test@freebsd.org again) the email will be returned
	to you with a little note saying "dont to that!"

	we allow 2 lists so that you can move a discussion from
	one list to another.

	hopefully this will ease the problems that we have had 
	with this issue.

ps.	no.....dont everyone test it! ;)
