Hmm. In our setup, the likelihood of that happening is virtually zero.
I'd deal with that on a case by case basis.

So I think what I want is:

1. For things going to selected list addresses (not all users)
2. Is the "From:" address from our domain?
3. If it is, is the IP address one that is internal to us?
4. If all these match, then send, if not, freeze it (or discard it)

So in fact I want something not to apply to regular users, just things
that are directed to the mailing lists. Which will not have any funny
forward files etc.
