It is something setup in 'majordomo' -- if a list owner wants replies to go to the list, by default, they can specify the reply-to address under list configuration.
Standard practice is to not set the reply-to field on announce type lists and to set the reply-to field to point to the list on discussion list. The idea being that on a discussion list, you don't usually want replies to devolve into a bunch of individual conversations when a reply is also likely to benefit other people on the discussion list. Seems this list should be set to reply to list, by default -- since if I have a problem, I might first be likely to look through the archives, but if replies to problems were sent off-list, they won't be available -- so you lose the collective solutions provided by list members (who then have to provide the same answers over and over again). -linda > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:samba-admin@;lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 8:05 AM > To: Yura Pismerov > Cc: Eric; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Samba] something wrong with the list (or its members) > > > > same here with Lotus Notes R5! must be his mail client > > > > > Yura Pismerov > > <ypismerov@tucows To: Eric > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > .com> cc: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent by: Subject: Re: > [Samba] something wrong with the list (or its members) > samba-admin@lists > > .samba.org > > > > > > 18/10/2002 15:54 > > > > > > > > > > Eric wrote: > > > > On 10/18 10:24, Yura Pismerov wrote: > > > should consider setting up reply-to-list option. > > > I'd like to know what people think about it... > > > > When I hit "reply" it goes to Yura.
