And one more thing...

On the one list I'm on where a reply-to goes to the sender instead of the list you have to anticipate getting at least eight out-of-office auto-replies and undeliverable mail notifications. And no one does anything about it, because it's more trouble than it's worth to deal with. On this list those things spam the list. So people complain, and wind up doing something.

Say, Doug, would you mind fixing the Reply-To: that Mailman puts on
messages to the list? Currently, it is Reply-To: General Linux discussion and help <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
which is the same as the List-Id: header:
List-Id: General Linux discussion and help <linux-users.linux-sxs.org>
I would much prefer to see the Reply-To: left out entirely:

I wouldn't. The argument that you referenced is one written by list admins for list admins, and intentionally ignores the needs of list members.
