Yeah, and because not every mail _user_ is running it's own qmail
server, this is a PITA...

Huh? (see below)

I didn't check for group reply, but when I reply to your mail, it will
be sent to you directly, and when I 'L'ist reply, as I'm doing now, it
is sent to the list. Strange, I can't think of any directive that
would cause this behaviour...
