The other thing to do is to configure your mail client to tell people
you don't want to be cc'd using the mail-followup-to header. Not all
clients support this, though on a technical list, I would expect that
the majority do, especially amoung those used by people trying to answer
questions.

Another option, if you don't think you will want anyone replying directly
to you, is to set up a rule(s) in your mail client to change your from address
when sending mail to one of the postgres lists to match the list address.
