this isn't redhat's fault.

it has to do with the mail servers for some recipient of the fedora
list. they are doing an idiot check comparing the email address
in RCPT TO with the To: address in the message headers, and
then bitching when they are different. it's one of the oldest
and dumbest of all filters because nearly all mailing lists will
have different values here.

someone's mail admins need to be slapped down.
