	In the web admin interface for the list, go to "Privacy Options", 
then scroll down to the "Membership Exposure" section.  There should 
be a setting for "Who can view subscription list?"  You probably want 
to set this to be "List admin only".

	In the web admin interface, on the main page, scroll down to 
"Reply-To: header munging".  Configure the first radio button in that 
section to be "No" (because you don't want to strip any existing 
"Reply-To:" headers), and set the second one to be "Poster" (because 
you want replies to go back to the original poster, as opposed to 
being forced to go back to the list).


	Note that there is a Mailman List Administrator's manual at 
<http://www.list.org/mailman-admin/index.html>, and site 
administrators will also be interested in the Installation Manual at 
<http://www.list.org/mailman-install/index.html>.

	There is also the Mailman FAQ Wizard at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py>, and you can search the 
archives of the list via the instructions at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.018.htp>.
