That's not the point. The point is that requiring that the mailing list's address is in To: or CC: would have stopped all of the spam that came through the list over the last few months. If the spam had the list name in to: or cc:, it could still get through. But I haven't seen a single piece of spam with my address in the To: or CC:. The To: always points to the sender or some dummy address.
