[Fedora-xen] management of this list

[Evan Lavelle]

This eventually comes up on most of the mailing lists I'm on (lots of 
them). I was as surprised as you were on finding out that some lists 
were set to reply to sender. Some people like it that way; your only 
choice is to live with it. Always 'reply all', edit the fields, delete 
duplicates, find something else to worry about. I'm not aware that I've 
ever missed a duplicate, though; I don't understand that issue.

All the spam I've got over the last few years (a lot) has come from 
address harvesting of mailman lists. There's only one answer, which is 
never to use an important mail address on a mailing list. I use a free 
(exim plussed) address. You get a base name, and can put whatever you 
want on the end of it, with a '+' in between. You create a new address 
for each list, and throw away the address if you get spam on it. The 
only hassle is that Thunderbird makes it difficult to edit the sender 
address in an outgoing mail, so you need to set up a new identity for 
each list. Thunderbird also has problems selecting the correct identity 
when replying to a list message, so you frequently have to manually 
select the correct 'from' address from all your identities.
