This isn't the first list I have such experiences with crazy filters or
MTAs. But the first time I've been flooded with mails!

Having the address of the original sender is a security leak. It could
either be used to gather adresses by spammers or to DoS-attack users of
mailing-lists, which could drive off users from projects.

So the original senders should be removed from header by mailing-list
server.

I've cross-posted this mail to linux-DVB as the ML is maintained by
Convergence.
