On a real mailing list it might be true! But this is just
a sweet little mini mailing list in our intranet
just to keep every user up to date on what's going on!

Do you think their might be a way of constructing something
like this? E.g. adding a header to all messages going to the
mailinglist and then setting up a diretor trashing all messages
with such a header and sender = receipent?
