in two penny blue I chose to split the to list and send one message per stamp ( 
iirc).  compared to the cost of stamping, sending 1 recipient copies is rather 
small.  this choice also made the outgoing message processing logic simpler.  
look in the headers.  if I remember what I did 2+ years ago correctly, you 
should see a stamp on the bcc copy I sent you and no headers (or minimal) on the 
mailing list one.

two penny blue works and is mostly real world ready.  3 bugs that I haven't had 
time to fix:
1) training causes a "weird" score distribution.  too many messages end up 
between the red fence and 0.
2) if anyone uses the default address on the "my addreses" list, it kills off 
filtering for those listing non-default addresses in the same domain.
3) searching (from dumpster) causes sql exception and killing filter daemon.

but other than that it is in really great shape :-)
