so this list distributes messages when the list is in the BCC header?
well, blame the list admin then!

depending on your MDA you can still filter on the Delivered-To line.
but that's a local problem which you can probably solve yourself.

i'm on about 50 mailing lists and I do use symlinks for that.
mind you, for the maillists i only require some dozen.
and i almost never see the "clutter" as my shell's globbing
allows to leave them out in a very simple way:

  ls *(^@)

this lists all the non-symlinks.
now, that's not so hard, is it?

.. and with problems of unnecessairly complicated setups. ;-)

PS: Volker - you do not seem to attribute quoted text.
    that is bad.  especially on mailing lists.
