You're missing the point.
I had the same problem earlier (and still do, I just get not to care
anymore on that particular instance):
- user posts to all@???
- you rewrite the header to to say "all_donotreply@???"
- you alias all_donotreply@??? to some other list
- someone answers with mutt and ends up posting on other list due to
your rewrite but has a Mail-Followup-To pointing to all@???
- next mutt user answers and the answer goes back to the all list, which
is what you wanted to avoid in the first place.
I asked Philip if he would consider adding Mail-Followup-To to the list
of headers you can rewrite, and he was more insterested in a general
solution to this problem (rewrite any header) IIRC.
However, this is still an unsolved problem as of exim 4.10, unless I'm
mistaken.
