[Reply] HI Guys,
Sorry about the bouce issue. Bounces are handled automatically by the Listserver (Mailman) quite intelligently, but this message from the Kristin School mail server is not treated as a "bounce" in the normal way that bounces generated by mail servers. Anyway I have now configured the Listserver to set an explicit reply-to address (the list server), so hopefully this will be handled automatically. Anyway Mr [EMAIL PROTECTED] is now unsubbed- whoever he was .. I've included below some stuff from the Mailman help, FYI. kind regards Gary [Mailman Help] reply_goes_to_list (general): Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is strongly recommended for most mailing lists. This option controls what Mailman does to the Reply-To: header in messages flowing through this mailing list. When set to Poster, no Reply-To: header is added by Mailman, although if one is present in the original message, it is not stripped. Setting this value to either This list or Explicit address causes Mailman to insert a specific Reply-To: header in all messages, overriding the header in the original message if necessary (Explicit address inserts the value of reply_to_address). There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To: header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private replies. See `Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful for a general discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful for a dissenting opinion. Some mailing lists have restricted posting privileges, with a parallel list devoted to discussions. Examples are `patches' or `checkin' lists, where software changes are posted by a revision control system, but discussion about the changes occurs on a developers mailing list. To support these types of mailing lists, select Explicit address and set the Reply-To: address below to point to the parallel list.
