Additionally as posted to the list the filter file used the syntax:-
if $h_to is "mail-list@???"
If the sender had a to: line like:-
To: "Example Mailing List" <mail-list@???>
then you lose. if you had used "contains" rather than "is" you would do
better, but might still be fooled by other variants. It gets even worse
if the target mailing lists have multiple domain names that can be used
- ie both <mail-list@???> & <mail-list@???>
and even <mail-list@???> all work OK - this latter
one can hit the particular form of ACL I posted earlier too.
