FIX YOUR FRIGGIN SMTP

[Lucas Peet]

I figured out the problem.  Here's the situation:

1.) Incoming mail comes in that was sent to the list.  kclug at kclug.org is in
the To: header.
2.) Postfix passes it off to SpamAssassin, which parses it to see if it's
spam.  It then add an X-Spam header.
3.) Postfix get the message again, and delieveres it to my mailbox, since it
was sent to me.
4.) Postfix sends it back out to kclug at kclug.org since that's where the
message was actually sent to.
5.) Everyone gets duplicate emails.  (Except me!?)

So, anyone have any ideas on how to make SpamAssassin / Postfix not send
back out to the list after the email's been parsed?  I would think these
messages shouldn't be delievered back to the list, due to relay
restrictions - Postfix should see the From: header, and deny it on the spot.
And I *know* my SMTP is *not* an open relay.  So I wonder how/why these are
still getting through?
