Yes, we had a lot of problems with the sympa mailing list manager at
our site but also with other mailing list manager from the outside. 
* people try to subscribe queues to mailing list 
* queue receive posts from ml and we send auto replies
* people cc mailing lists in ticket correspondence

yes we hope to archive this with Set($RedistributeAutoGeneratedMessages,
'privileged');
We also have extra rules for procmail but of course they only work
for the mailing list we know about.

sounds good, but difficult to implement in a generic way.

best regards and i hope that my mini patch will be included!
