I think I found a solution, but wanted to check with the list to see if I am correct. I was poking around the excerpts and found that people were sending messages to my list "resume@foo.bar" with addresses such as "resume@foo.bar; resume@jobs.com; resume@frank.com; resume@blah.com; etc."
I think there's information in here but I can't see it. What do you mean "with address such as resume@foo.bar; resume@jobs.com; etc.", exactly? Do you mean messages that had
To: resume@foo.bar; resume@jobs.com
or
To: resume@foo.bar, resume@jobs.com
or
To: resume@foo.bar
and others with
To: resume@jobs.com
or what?
In the first case, I *think* that's an illegal address; AFAIK, ';' is not allowed in an email address; but if not, it's effectively the same as the second case.
In the second case, that's multiple addresses on one To: line, which includes the list address you gave, so shouldn't be a problem.
In the third case, the first message is to the list, so shouldn't cause a problem, but the second message is *not* to the list, and will definitely cause a problem.
What I did was go into list admin and under privacy options, did the following:
Ceiling on acceptable number of recipients for a posting >>> 1
This was changed from the default of 10. Should this solve the problem?
??? "Implicit destination" means, as has been said, "the list address is not mentioned in To: or Cc:"; the *number* of recipients doesn't affect and isn't affected by the *content* of recipients. No, this has nothing to do with the problem of seeing messages held for approval because of implicit destination addresses.

When I saw this it was because of an To: header like this:
To: Friends <addr1; addr2; addr3; addr4; ... >
Where one of the addr's was the mailinglis address.
Hmm...perhaps there should be a "Don't warn on implicit addresses" switch?
