reply address setting explanation

And - just so folks know... I didn't intentionally change the way the reply-to address works, even though I prefer the new method. When I set up the list I just installed a separate copy of majordomo "straight out of the box". We host all our customer lists with majordomo, primarily because majordomo is virtually the de-facto standard for internet mailing lists world-wide. Yes, there are other mailing list server packages, but none seem to have the installed base of majordomo. The default installation of majordomo does what - you guessed it - reply-to is NOT munged. Gee - I wonder why the author of majordomo did that. Hum... I installed the standard default configuration, did some testing, and started it back up. I'm so used to mailing lists having the reply-to set to the original poster it really didn't dawn on me that classiccmp was set differently although I knew that full well. The change was not intentional. After the first post or two I saw about this topic I was going to change it to work like the old list because obviously that's how it WAS set up. Then I saw the lively discussion and thought perhaps its better to have everyone get their opinions in and let any changes be determined without me. As you might infer from previous posts, I don't want to be making any changes on my own.... Regards, Jay West
