To prevent massive repostings to a distribution list, I use the addres form
(described in RFC-822):

	To: NiceName-of-List: real-address@host, address-alias;

I also include a

	From: List-request@myhost

as well as the usual X-Errors-to and anything else I can think of.

The above addressing convention works well for small mailing lists as well
(inside an organization).
