	Setting a list "Reply-to:" header is usually a bad idea.  See 
<http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html>.

	As for making the list announce-only, go to the Mailman FAQ 
Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> and search for 
"one-way".

	In the web admin interface for your list, go to the "Privacy 
options..." section, then down to "Sender filters".  Partway down on 
the page there is a field with the description:

		List of non-member addresses whose postings should be
		automatically accepted.

	This also has a link to a page with a brief description of this option.
