With user-defined addressing, the user either makes up a unique
address (de5-list-managers and de5-list-managers-acme) or uses the
same address for both, and they get filed into the same folder.

Here again, user-defined addressing "wins". Only messages sent to the
list-specific address get filed in the list folder. If someone
forwards me a message, it lands in my main mailbox.
