Yes, it can be...but decent mail programs don't need this :) Actually, for most of the oldtimers on the net like me, setting the Reply-To header on a mailing list is A Bad Thing and An Ugly Hack used instead of using good email programs and user education. But anyway...I won't get into this more :) Yes, mailman can be configured to do Reply-To mungling, no problem at all...it's just that by default it's configured to Do The Right Thing(tm) and most admins leave it at that. > What about majordomo? I haven't used a majordomo mailing list in a long time...but I *do* remember that administration of majordomo was a major PITA... I don't think I'd wish that on whoever admins the lists here, even if s/he has inflicted sympa on us all for this long :) So...I think mailman is a better solution. Vox, who hates sympa -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs. Kind of like the Amish, except that our religion requires us to use _higher_ technology than everyone else. -- Donald B. Marti Jr.
