Hi,

I think, the mailman (mailing list manager/server) at
http://lists.freebsd.org/ is not handing and, or correcting the headers
well. It is therefore difficult to filter and, or process messages
coming from the mailing lists.

No.

IMHO, if and, or when a user sends a message to a list address as CC,
the mailman should exchange and, or correct the headers To: and Cc: by
applying some fuzzy logic so that the receivers may filter messages
from the lists by looking at To: header only.

What's hard about filtering with the List*, Sender or X-BeenThere header entry?

Bye,
Alexander.
