mailinglist

Hi,

once again, i got mails for this list right into my inbox, rather then
into my SA list folder.
I dont know what you are doing, but please refer to a manual or whatever
and write directly to the list.

here is the mail:

If you put all the recipients in the BCC field (something you might want
to
do if you regularly forward things to large numbers of friends, so that
their names and email addresses aren't recorded for posterity five
forwardings down the line), the "To" field will be labeled this way.

Try filtering on the List-ID header instead of the To field.  It's more 
reliable.

The message was filtered correctly when I received it.

Making an on-topic point that "real" mail might have a To header with 
undisclosed-recipients or recipient-list-suppressed.
