Dear Ben
Thanks for the help!
>>1. The messages from the list carry 'Multiple recipients of
>>MYLISTNAME' in To: field. How can I changed it to something

It is interesting! This LSTOWN-L list does not contain such text
in To: field! How this is possible?

The reason is that my list (which was running on majordomo and is a heavy
traffic list, I have recently moved it to LISTSERV) sometime got caught in
this 'remove me due to too many mails' snowball effect, and I had to make
it moderated. I do not want to flood people's email boxes who are genuinely
sending pedagogical content in their messages (my list is for educators and
educational technologists), but still want to keep a check on non-relevant
messages.
>>3. How I can implement Keyword Filters, so that if a message contains

As I told above, I had such situation in the past. Person wrote in the
subject 'Please remove me from this list', and in the message, sent just
the signature!
