I have a moira list, jcb, that contains my kerberos principals, which I
use to put on acls for lists I maintain:
athena% blanche -i jcb
List: jcb
Description: group
Flags: active, private, and visible
jcb is not a maillist and is a group (and an NFS group) with GID 3884
Owner: LIST jcb

The list contains the following:
athena% blanche jcb
KERBEROS:jcb.root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
KERBEROS:jcb/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
KERBEROS:jcb/root@MEKINOK.COM
KERBEROS:jcb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
KERBEROS:jcb@MEKINOK.COM
I have an email list, mitspo-request:
athena% blanche -i mitspo-request
List: mitspo-request
Description: List administrators for mitspo (MIT Summer Philharmonic Orchestra) list
Flags: active, private, and visible
mitspo-request is a maillist and is not a group
Owner: LIST mitspo-request

which contains the following:
athena% blanche mitspo-request
LIST:jcb
"Jeff Bigler" <jcb@alum.mit.edu>
Mail sent to mitspo-request used to just send mail to jcb@alum, which is
the correct behavior. In July, I added USER:jcb to LIST:jcb. I have
subsequently deleted USER:jcb from LIST:jcb. However, since that time,
mail sent to mitspo-request sends a copy to jcb@alum (correct), and a
second copy to USER:jcb, which doesn't go through alum (incorrect).
It seems like adding USER:jcb to LIST:jcb flipped a bit somewhere that
didn't get reset when I deleted USER:jcb from LIST:jcb, possibly because
the username happens to be the same as the list name.
Note that this isn't the first obscure moira bug I've uncovered. :-)
