Ouch.
I must admit I don't bother with my more obsolete or just-weird addresses,
and just have:
set alternates =
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
On the other hand, this has a much wider range:

That's from my cats2procmailrc rulesets.
I just get almost all my email reference via the 4 addresses listed in my
alternates, so these others are way down in the noise.
Since I generally always to a group reply and and always eyeball the reply
list so generated, manually trimming at need, this works well for me.

I don't consider "root" to be "me", myself. Especially at work, root
and postmaster go to a few of us, so I _don't_ trim it because I want
replies to such messages to copy to the rest of the group so we all know
which messages got replies and which are still pending. Or could I have
to live with getting my own email then, but that's not too bad.

| Yeah, that's not too bad.
I feel that for aesthetics' sake you should make yourself and alias called
"waldo" or something. Couldn't resist.
