I'm not sure what's happening in total, but the 'ftg at roadrunner.com' is
your own Reply-To: from the incoming post. The default is to add any
additional reply-to address to that. If you want it removed, you need
to set first_strip_reply_to to Yes.

As far as the rest of it is concerned, I don't understand what's
happening. If reply_goes_to_list is set to This list, what is put in
Reply-To: should just be the list posting address
<webdata at ftgme2.griffin.selectbs.com>. I don't know where the list
description and owner address are coming from.

Is there anything in reply_to_address (although it doesn't seem that
this could do what you see anyway)?
