Exchange may remove it, but outlook doesn't if you are using the
"Internet Email" connector.  I haven't tested exchange, or other
versions of LookOut besides 2000.  If you open an email in its own
window, go to View, Options, and the headers should display.  Mine
clearly shows the X-List-Info header.

Will not help those who need to have their mail go through the
corporate mail munger.

The main issue I pointed out is not from the Linux or Unix point of
view
since many MUAs on Unix and Linux platforms are capable of some very
sophisticated filtering.  However, I did point out that many Windows
clients do not have the capability.
Actually, I found that exchange actually removes the X-List-Info:
field. On
Windows, I have not found a decent email program that can use any of
the X- fields or the Sender: field.
Outlook (&co), Pegasus, Netscape, Eudora arer limited to the normally
exposed headers. I have not checked Calypso.

At home I use exmh with filtering provided by procmail, which does a
good job.
