Paul is saying that the REPLY-TO: coming from the list server is causing the 
problem. It's not an additional problem.

I think we are on an outdated list server. Most heavily used servers now 
replace the REPLY-TO: if specified in the incoming Email header. This list will 
only add the REPLY-TO: (not replace). If a REPLY-TO exists, then it does 
nothing which from my perspective is a bug. REPLY-TO must always be this list 
server. 

AT&T now inserts a REPLY-TO: regardless whether it is needed. Since they felt 
they would occasionally need it, this method creates a consistent environment 
for their Emails that they can easily document.

It seems that AT&T added that as well. Just one more change for the worse to 
heap on the already large stack.

I have been complaining to AT&T for two weeks already, but things only seem to 
get worse. It seems AT&T believes in the practice of doing minimal testing and 
then using their customers as guinea pigs to find the bugs competent testing 
would have already revealed. It looks like I'll have to find another ISP and 
start migrating my multiple email account names. Then I will be able to 
completely sever my AT&T business.
