[Mailman-Users] Email posts get posted to the wrong list!

I have a similar problem if I have another mailing list on the mailing list 
as a recipient.  I.e. each site in my company has its own list and then I 
have a general list which sends to each of those lists.  The other time I 
have the problem is if I send an email to a list and to other recipients as 
well, i.e. TO: list at myserver.com, someone at yahoo.com.

I have done newalias and can only assume that it is something in mailman 
that does not like sending automatically to other lists or when other 
recipients is included in the TO: line.
