No big deal; use Procmail to suppress double-delivery instead of getting

This is the mailing list, the place for discussion. If someone wants private
copies, (s)he should say so. Otherwise the discussion should be placed here.
different people have different opinions on this (and on other subjects)...
If you want to play with your procmailrc, it's your business.
if you want to spend your time telling people to stop CCing you, it's
your business :-)
Even assuming that all current list members read your "complaint" and
follow it, nothing will save you from new members!
Your "Mail-Followup-To:" header helps, except on MUAs that don't support
it. so you'll still get CC's from those. Benny doesn't set such a
header, so he will get more copies.
Setting the Reply-To is more effective, although I've seen a mailer that
replied to both the Reply-To and the From headers.
Unfortunately, setting the Mail-Followup-To and/or the Reply-to headers
based on the recipient requires work except with few MUAs (Mutt users
should feel happy here ;-p).
And if Benny
(or me) wants to ignore someone sending private replies, it's his business.
Ignoring such such is easier than playing their and your game.
well, the problem is that many people don't know that you don't like
copies.
and even assuming nobody wants copies, most MUAs do not implement a
"reply to list" (if we are lucky, that will happen in the next 10 years
;-p), so most people wil click on "reply to all" but won't edit the
recipient list.
Also set your Reply-To accordingly.
Reply-To has different meaning and usage.
sure, but in mailing lists, people who really want to contact you
personally will notice if the reply-to is set to the list address and
will then use the From: header. if the latter is reserved for
mailing-lists, they can assume you don't want offlist mail.
