Yes, UGA is on an outdated version of Listserv: I hope to be able to tell
you we're upgrading RSN, but it always gets pushed back because it still
works, and there are other priorities.
But that's totally not the problem here. The current version has
Reply-To= List|Sender|Both|None|net-address,[Respect|Ignore]
which is also what we have in our version. This list has the setting
Reply-to= List,Respect
which means 'reply' by default goes to the list, but if a Reply-To is set
in the message (ie, by ATT), that is used instead.
OK, so I see Frank Swarbrick has found a previous discussion about this:
wanna vote? Shall we change to Reply-to= List,Ignore?
I have attempted to set the Reply-To to myself :)

I think we are on an outdated list server. Most heavily used servers now
replace the REPLY-TO: if specified in the incoming Email header. This
list will only add the REPLY-TO: (not replace). If a REPLY-TO exists,
then it does nothing which from my perspective is a bug. REPLY-TO must
always be this list server.
AT&T now inserts a REPLY-TO: regardless whether it is needed. Since they
felt they would occasionally need it, this method creates a consistent
environment for their Emails that they can easily document.

BTW, did you supply the "Reply-To: Russell West ..." header, or
did AT&T bestow that also on you?

It seems that AT&T added that as well. Just one more change for the worse to
heap on the already large stack.
I have been complaining to AT&T for two weeks already, but things only seem to get
worse. It seems AT&T believes in the practice of doing minimal testing and then using
their customers as guinea pigs to find the bugs competent testing would have already
revealed. It looks like I'll have to find another ISP and start migrating my multiple email
account names. Then I will be able to completely sever my AT&T business.
