P.S.: I'm a bit confused with the netatalk mailing list reply tactics.
Wouldn't make a Reply-To: $listaddr field in the mail header more
sense, instead of replying to the sender directly by default?
This came up on the qmail list <qmail@list.cr.yp.to> recently, and the
short answer is "No." The long answer is available at
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html, which can be summarized
as follows: It doesn't add anything, and makes it harder to reply only
to the original sender.
