I don't run a mailserver of my own, so this is how my sieve filters are configured at the moment. It has almost never been a problem, except for when people reply to too many lists with the announce ones as well. However, I'll look into fixing my sieve rules (thanks to the hint from bremner). That said, my point still stands, and the replies that have nothing to do with announcements should not be sent to that list. It is not about best practice, but rather about following the the etiquette. Best, Nilesh
