Ok, Here is an example of the headers I receive from a normal post from
the list.

If I click the Reply button, I get spamassassin-talk-admin

Is this a M$ LookOut thing ;-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Theres your problem right there - MDaemon is munging the incomming headers. The Reply-To: header on the list is NOT set to [EMAIL PROTECTED], that is MDaemon changing it to that.

It seems to be doing a few other weird things to the headers too.

An email program should check for addresses to reply to in this order:

Reply-To:
From:
Sender:
Return-Path:

(There are a few others sometimes used but those are the main ones)

It looks like MDaemon is munging the Reply-To: address so its the same as the Return-Path: address. This is incorrect behaviour.

All the messages I see comming through this list have the Reply-To: field set correctly to the original senders address.....

You might want to check your MDaemon configuration. (Or throw it away and use a proper mailserver :)

Simon
