So then this list is not setup properly because it is not even issuing a Reply-To: Header. My Mail server is placing one in there to make up for this discrepency

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 :) Regards, Simon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
