[Mailman-Users] REPLY-TO oddity

[Marc L. Allen]

Hmmm.... changing it with an A record probably won't help, since the
name of my host is really x.y.z and not maillist.x.y.z.  Besides, why
can't Mailman set the REPLY-TO: to the address of the mail list. 
Afterall, it does know what that is, doesn't it?

Thanks,

Marc
