Re: Duplicate email

I have a simple hack that works in a bsd/sendmail environment that I think 
helps solve this problem.

Normally when one sends to a mailing list, the ``From:'' line gets set
to the sender and the ``To:'' line gets set to the list-name. I wanted
the ``To:'' line for each recipient to be set to that recipient's mailbox
name. 

This is in all senses of the word a hack, but it is simple and it works 
around here. It should be easy enough to studlify it enough to work in
the real world of the Internet. 

Any interest?
