One problem is that not every mailing list management program agrees on what
headers should be defined that identify a message as being sent to a mailing
list. Some use X-Mailing-List, some others use Precedence, some others use
Sender (amanda-users is one of them), etc etc. Mailing list handling is not
enforced by an RFC.
I've been asked to implement an automatic mail response system at my company
but refused to do so: I couldn't reliably identify bulk messages (mailing
lists) from others reliably. I subscribe to three different mailing lists,
each of which have a different idea of how to announce themselves as being
mailing lists. Heh.
