I'm not sure what rules you mean.  Let's assume, for example, that I
have the addresses of all cooperation-wg subscribers on my personal
address-book.  Then, if I send a message to all of us, my outgoing
mail server will temporarily store the corresponding personal data for
the sake of running my post through its queue.  I think Data
Protection Directive imposes no duty in such case.  Is this what you mean?

Let me note again how transparent a MLM is in doing its job.  It lets
recipients know which specific (non-temporary) list their address was
extracted from.  Not all list exploders work this way.
