when checking something like
# Exim filter
if $h_to: contains "my.personal@email.addr" then
save Mail/personal
endif
apparently it treats the "To:" field as one big string:
To: someone@here.tld, someoneElse@there.org, me@home.tld
so if a list-reply wound up looking like
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org, will@serensoft.com
i'd have to find some other way to figure out if it arrived at
my doorstep via debian-user broadcast, or by personal missive.
how?

Looking to use your Debian machine as a FIREWALL? No problem!
Try "apt-get install ipmasq"... After you've got your
/etc/network/interfaces file set up properly, ipmasq will
save you lots of work, setting up firewall and routing
tables automatically.
