This is supposed to be under the control of the poster. You can use
mail-followup-to to ask that responses only be sent to the list.
If you don't want any replies sent to your personal address, you can
set reply-to to the list. This will cover some mail clients that
don't respect mail-followup-to.

There are often significant delays with mail sent to the postgres lists
and getting a direct copy can get you an answer significantly faster
some of the time.

Not everyone who posts is on the lists. Off list posts are OK'd by a moderator.
