For some general lists which are Cc:ed regularly (debian-devel,
debian-legal, maybe even debian-security), this sounds like a bad
idea.

You also would have to do this at the SMTP level, see:

I don't know how easy this is possible with Smartlist (it's a bit
difficult for Exim, too, mainly because of the permission problem).
