[Caml-list] duplicating messages

duplicating my message a zillion times as far as i can tell.... i
believer everything is fine on my end.

Well, it's the usual scenario: someone somewhere who is subscribed to
the list misconfigured their mail filtering and end up re-sending
everything to the list.  It's easy to spot who does that by looking at
the "Received" headers of the duplicate messages.  (This time, the
problem is at ENS Lyon.)  As usual, the offerenders were unsubscribed
from the list.  I also added a procmail recipe to (I hope) avoid
this.  We'll see if it works.

While we're on the subject of misconfiguration, when I was using Vipul's
Razor to filter spam, someone was evidently reporting all caml-list
messages to the razor as spam.

I second this. The mozilla's spam filter also marks some messages to caml-list 
as spam. Interestingly, it doesn't mark _real_ (and nasty) spam appearing on 
caml-list as such :-).
