I have found a way round this problem.

I have got the mailing list to add a small footer to every message. I have added a routine to mlist_post.inc to check for this footer in the last 160 characters of an outgoing message. If it finds it, it sends the message to a trash account I've set up (once I'm certain it works perfectly it will simply not send anywhere). If it doesn't find the footer, it processes the mail as before.

I'm not a programmer, and I'm sure that my coding is bad, but for what it's worth, here it is:

mlist_post.inc (as amended)

function mail_list_post($list_email, $from, $subject, $body, $msg_id, $reply_to=null, $attch=null, $attach_mime=null, $additional_headers=null)

/** Original code **/
$multi_part = 0;
$final_body = '';
/** my extra code **/
/** Set your mailing list variables here **/
$divert_email = 'trashcan@mydomain'; // The e-mail address you want duplicate messages diverted to
$teststring = 'Footer'; // The string your mailing list adds to every message body
$testst=substr($body,-160); //check only last 160 characters of message body
if (strpos($testst,$teststring)) {
$to_email = $divert_email;
} // string found; divert
else {
$to_email = $list_email;
} // string not found; send to list
/** end of my code
many lines unaltered
and the last line **/

/** original code send_email($from, $list_email, $subject, $final_body, $header); **/
send_email($from, $to_email, $subject, $final_body, $header);
