Hmm, almost.

If I just do a 'reply', then it goes to the message sender, rather than back to the list. I have to do a 'reply-all' to get it to go back to the list. This is different from the Yahoo Groups behaviour and may catch some people out.

I noticed this too. So I inquired at google and found this:


Anyone know how to set up the reply-to automatically? The docs for this
mailing list processor suck.

for better info, check out www.ezmlm.org ... the answer you're looking for is:

9.8 Setting ``Reply-To: list at host''.
This is not recommended, since it leads to dissemination via the list of
messages returned from bad auto-responders and MTAs. Also, it may lead to
public replies to the list where personal replies were intended. In
addition, the original ``Reply-To:'' header is lost. If you do want to add
a reply-to list header, put ``reply-to'' into DIR/headerremove, and
``Reply-To: list at host.dom'' into DIR/headeradd.

So now I'm thinking I should follow this advice and leave the Reply-To: header as it is. Thoughts anyone?


(Also, it might be a good idea to post a message to the old Yahoo Groups to tell everyone about the new list in case it isn't working for some people - if you haven't already done so)



I will. Let's shake out the new list first, though.
