thanks. i agree with most of the aspects the author says about munging the
Reply-To in email headers.

yes you are right - i really agree with you. i just want to find a way, to
make it easy for all users (win and linux with all kind of brain-dead
mua's) to get their mail to the list easily. this is only for one special
list - i dont consider using it for the rest.

ok rewriting the From: line isn't the solution although in the envelope
the sender is still present (but who is looking at the envelope).

can you tell me, how to add a Reply-To: if it is not there? this would be
the best way i can think of. like

if $reply_to is unset
then
$reply_to = my_list@mydomain
endif

can i do that?


thanks,

od
