[VoiceOps] Mailman 'Reply-To' munging (was: Re: 9-8-8 dialing [...])

[Nathan Anderson]

Since it appears that various mail clients deal with the existence of "Reply-To" in different ways, it's honestly a bit frustrating that this isn't configurable per-subscriber within Mailman, instead of implemented strictly as a list-wide setting.  Otherwise I could just log into my member options page for this list & configure it in a way that works for me.

Indeed. The default destination of a reply should be the list, which is accomplished by the following Mailman config options:

   from_is_list = 0
   reply_goes_to_list = 1
