It is not necessary and probably not effective in this case to edit
mm_cfg.py. That only sets the default for new lists.
What is wanted in this case is the settings on the web admin UI General
Options page under Reply-To: header munging. In particular:
Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is strongly
recommended for most mailing lists.
(Details for reply_goes_to_list)
And I have no problem with that (except that editorial advice probably
doesn't belong on a settings page) because it refers to a "mailing
list". I have no statistics, but my exposure to Mailman has been
almost exclusively as a "discussion list". Therefore, all of the
Mailman instances that I admin ignore this "strong recommendation" and
set 'reply_goes_to_list' to 'This list'. Yes, that does open the
DMARC/DKIM can-o-worms, but just about everything useful does... :-/
Perhaps it would be useful to new Mailman admins if there were some
sort of Quick Start Tutorial that covered appropriate initial settings
for using Mailman as a:
- Mailing List
- Discussion List
- Suggestion Box
- IRC bot
- etc.
