My problem (and I do recognize that it's *my* problem, not the world's) is that I use the gmane news mirror to read debian-user. Because of this, I don't receive the dupes through my spool, so procmail won't do me any good. What I get in practice is that I'm happily reading and posting, and then every so often my cron job will email me informing me that there are a bunch of messages in my tmda-pending queue, many of which turn out to be these CCs. Actually, now that I think about it, I suppose that I could write a procmail or tmda rule to simply route anything that appears to have headers containing both the debian list and my email to a separate folder or /dev/null. So maybe I'll give that a shot when I get some free time =) -- monique PLEASE don't CC me. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top. Whatever it takes, just don't CC me!
