Normally, the Reply-To: address in the incoming post will also be in
the message sent to the list, but if you do Reply-To: munging
(first_strip_reply_to = Yes), it will be removed.

If you don't want to accept posts where only the Reply-To: address is a
list member, set

SENDER_HEADERS = ('from', None, 'sender')

in mm_cfg.py. The default is

SENDER_HEADERS = ('from', None, 'reply-to', 'sender')

where None means the envelope sender.

Thanks, Mark.

I'd forgotten about the "first_strip_reply_to" option-- and never thought about this implication.

I'm just the administrator of the list(s), and don't have direct access to the mm_cfg.py file. This is a rare enough occurrence, that I'm unlikely to ask the server administrator to make a change.

But I will reset the "first_strip_reply_to" settings. Thanks, again!
