Hi Pat,

This is a munging list, which changes the from address to pass DMARC. The original From address gets moved to Reply-To in this common setup. Unfortunately, not all MUAs respect Reply-To. The convention on munging lists is Reply-List, and correspondents are expected to join.

Some organizations, notably kernel.org, operate their lists in non-munging mode, and expect participants to both whitelist their server and use Reply-All. Correspondents do not have to join to participate.

The trade-off is spam control versus participant convenience.

HTH,

Phil

I recently posted a question regarding the topic in parenthesis in $subject, 
but I was not subscribed to the list so I did not get a copy of replies. Is 
there any way for me to reply to them on list, or should I start a new thread 
with my findings?

When I go to the message on the Exim ML and click the reply button it appears 
to be trying to launch my local MUA, which is not configured, because nothing 
happens when I click the button. I use the ProtonMail web client if that makes 
any difference.

Briefly:
wishlist bug created (https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2808).
I tried Jeremy's suggestions but struck out.
The bug report contains a brief synopsis of the workaround I found using the 
hint from Jasen Betts, but I have a more full report to offer.

And most importantly, thank you to both Jeremy and Jasen for taking the time to 
reply to my original question!

Pat
