I seem to recall Thunderbird having an issue of sometimes ignoring your
configuration and trying to post via one of the other SMTP servers
configured into your mail accounts.  Are you sure that it's using the

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
