	True enough, but mailman does have some built-in intelligence 
that you can make use of.

	You can configure it to look at the complete list of recipients 
for a message, and if it finds a recipient that is explicitly listed 
and for which the exact same address appears on the mailing list, 
then mailman will choose not to send a duplicate copy of that message 
to the same address.


	See the mailman web page for more information.
