 I'm in agreement, there is a reason that most mailers have a Reply-All or
 Reply-Group function after all. Don't munge Reply-To!

Well, if it's *replacing* Reply-to: on incoming mail, that's definitely
broken.  However it is perfectly reasonable for a list reflector to *add*
this header, and I appreciate the service.

Besides, I'm getting a nice list of virus-scanner companies that don't
know how to write proper autoresponders. :-/

 Because the mailing list processor is configured to set the Reply-To
 address to the list address. IMHO this should be changed to reduce
 such problems with automatic replies (vacation e-mails, virus-scans
 etc.).

ctd But that would make *regular* replies a pain in the ass for list
ctd members. 

What we do is send the notice to the envelope sender, which
typically is set to the list owner.  (Sorry list owner.)  At least
that way it doesn't flood the entire list time and time again
