My Mail server is placing one in there to make up for this discrepency

Reply-To: is an *optional* header. It is not the job of a mailing list to add one, it is the job of the senders email program to add or not add one. Most (but not all) do. If Reply-To: doesn't exist, your email program will (should) reply to the From: header.


Unfortunately your mail system, probably MDaemon, is taking the Return-Path: header address which is *only* used for mail delivery failure reports, and adding it as a Reply-To: header. This is *wrong* and against the RFC's.

Please don't waste time blaiming the list, rather find out why your mailserver system is incorrectly changing headers...
