Because I've configured all of the above, and *still* get individual copies of messages that were sent to the list. I'm not subscribed to the Debian mailing lists, so there is no "duplicate" that can be detected by such methods. The solution, as requested in the CoC, is to not have the message copies sent individually in the first place. -- \ "I fly Air Bizarre. You buy a combination one-way round-trip | `\ ticket.
