...that's sure what this sounds like. If so, I have little sympathy
for your position.
So you say the Reply-To: field is to be ignored although in all other
contexts it is preferred over the From: field. Say what you want, I don't
understand that.
Quotes from RFC 5322:
"
The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message,
that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible
for the writing of the message.
[...]
The originator fields also provide the information required when
replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it
indicates the address(es) to which the author of the message suggests
that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field,
replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the
"From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the
reply.
In all cases, the "From:" field *SHOULD NOT* contain any mailbox that
does not belong to the author(s) of the message. See also section
3.6.3 for more information on forming the destination addresses for a
reply.
"
And cctalk@... is neither responsible for the writing of the message nor
does it belong to the author of the message. But replies should be
directed there, so there should be a Reply-To: field containing cctalk@...
and the From: field should contain the author's address.
EOD from my part ;-)
