To check, send a message to the listserv saying: query <listname>, e.g., query autocat Often when someone sets up a list for you he or she sets up your subscription BEFORE specifying the various option defaults, including REPRO. The result is that the option applies to everyone but you,the listowner. I found this out the hard way with several small lists that were set up for me. I KNEW they were set up to REPRO, but I never got copies of my own messages. The option is forward looking; it applies to everyone who subscribes AFTER it has been set up.
