Maybe I don't know how Lyris does it, but most mail servers send a "reply to" address of the list... So when you hit reply, it goes to the list, not the individual. Doesn't that make the automatic replies hit Lyris? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:03:51 -0800 Subject: Re: test > On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 4:16 PM, Matthew W.
