 Sorry for butting in... but I have been there myself.

IMO there is one, not so obvious, maldefinition with at least
 cygwin@cygwin.com
as it is today. In short:

There could be a "Reply-To: cygwin@cygwin.com" in the headers of
mail that is sent out by "ezmlm".

"Sender: cygwin-owner@cygwin.com" and
"Mail-Followup-To: cygwin@cygwin.com" are obviously not enough.

 As it is now; pressing "Reply" on mail from the list (at least in Outlook)
puts something else than cygwin@cygwin.com in the "To..." field, e.g. "Max
Bowsher <maxb@ukf.net>" (the <mail address> hidden under "Properties").
Outlook's "Reply to All", *appends* cygwin@cygwin.com in the To field.

That is probably why some of you get some personally adressed mail
that really belongs on the list.

 I have appended the headers of the message I replied to, for ref.


Hmm...? After proofreading; These looks odd:
--
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

i.e. they are *contradictory*; iso-8859-1 is full eight bits. I wonder where
the 7bit thing comes from. And:

 is obviously something extra (not necessary?).
