AW: Forcing a Reply-To for a mailling list

> Is it possible to force a Reply-To header on a mailing list?  I'm seeing that some clients default replys to the list, while others default to the sender.

Shure? If "Reply to list" isn't set, answer should be send to FROM. SENDER is the header for the mailadress of sending instance - most times the adress of the mailserver. It's for automated routines ... not for mailclients.

Forces mailserver setting a (new) REPLY-TO to mailinglist ...

> but what about forcing them to the sender?

To your mailserver?

A mailclient should look for REPLY-TO and - if not present - take FROM for replying. But - as with Pegasus - there is no problem telling the mailclient to ignore REPLY-TO ...

I never had problems with that feature on restricted lists. Are there replies not sent to FROM or in case of error to mailadress defined for ERRORS-TO?

Hope this helps

Is it possible to force a Reply-To header on a mailing list?  I'm seeing that some clients default replys to the list, while others default to the sender.

I see there is an option to "force replies to go to the list" but what about forcing them to the sender?  Since forcing to the list doesn't work well for a list restricted to send by moderators only.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
