Does anyone know a way to block a reply to all? I would like my users
to not be able to reply to all to post a message. If the want to post
a message, they should post it not just reply to a previous message.
Set the reply-to: to something wrong :)
Kinda defeats the purpose of replying at all.
Robert-
Why?? Most mailing lists are a conversation (of sorts). You say one thing
and I say something relevant to that (like this). Almost all messaging
happens like that (email, web fora, chat systems, SMS, etc). Do you want to
prevent two-way conversation, force every message to me a "new" message, or
what?
Also, reply-all is a MUA function, not an MTA function, so changing the
behavior of Mailman is kind of a band-aid solution.
(That aside, you could look at the subject for a "Re:" or similar tag, but
that's not reliable. You could look for mailman's X-BeenThere or
X-Mailman-Version headers, which would be better... OTOH, these will prevent
-all- replies that go to the list, not just reply-all.)
