You got that wrong. I am offering help. Read what I said.

No, the default operation of mailman is to recognise the cc: and not

That assumes that everyone can use procmail. Not everyone has that 
access, and not all mail setups use procmail for delivery. If you read 
the dovecot+sendmail instructions at the dovecot site you will see one 
that doesn't.

You simply do not understand my setup. Until you do, not cannot offer 
useful advice.

Hopefully, lists you manage facilitate discussion by directing replies 
to the list.

In any case, the bounces will only be to those who reply off-list, and 
they're designed not to irritate those folk, but to defeat spammers. I 
do not have an email address that does not get spammed, but I have 
thought of how to make them clean.

It involves firewall rules that direct access from approved sources 
(those that host lists I am interested in) to the mail server where 
those email accounts are known. Email from other sources will be bounced 
"recipient unknown" if I'm in a good humour at the time. Alternatives 
are to reject or drop the connexion attempts.
