The way the List is currently configured, most email systems send a simple
REPLY to the original sender only.
The simplest solution is to use a REPLY ALL command, which sends a reply to
_both_ the original sender and to the list (I've just done this, so you
should receive one copy directly and one via the List).
The best solution is to then delete the copy to the original -- if
necessary replacing it with the List address.
