My problem (and I do recognize that it's *my* problem, not the world's)
is that I use the gmane news mirror to read debian-user. Because of
this, I don't receive the dupes through my spool, so procmail won't do
me any good. What I get in practice is that I'm happily reading and
posting, and then every so often my cron job will email me informing me
that there are a bunch of messages in my tmda-pending queue, many of
which turn out to be these CCs.
Actually, now that I think about it, I suppose that I could write a
procmail or tmda rule to simply route anything that appears to have
headers containing both the debian list and my email to a separate
folder or /dev/null. So maybe I'll give that a shot when I get some
free time =)
