As I create each list (and it's config file), I add a custom header
setting, and a matching taboo_header expression. This has worked
well for those vacation/auto-reply senders that maintain the headers,
but not otherwise. Also make sure your reply_to setting is not set,
or you are causing this yourself.
message_headers << END
List-ID: $LIST mailing list <$LIST.lists.doma.in>
END
reply_to =
taboo_headers << END
/^X-ApprovalRequired: true/i
/^List-ID:.*$LIST\.lists\.doma\.in/i
END
