False, since the List IS correct configured.  Sometimes it  is  required
to send PMs for which is the <Reply-To>.  I always send messages to  the
list using <Reply-To-List> and since this is a technical Mailinglist and
NOT a "dummy" user forum, listmembers should use appropriated MUAs which
supporting it.

Also there is header called "Mail-Followup-To: which works wonder...

If you want to get PMs too, set it to:

  Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], users@spamassassin.apache.org

Sorry, but currently I am DoS'ed  by  nearly  200.000  backscatters  and
arround 2 GByte in my main E-Mail I use here to post and I had  to  SPAM
all of my customers to send Mails currently only to a  "hidden"  E-Mail.

Currently I am very angry, since I am working mobile and  over  GSM/GPRS
and fillilling up my personal account with useless messages which  force
me to download the messages twice...

Note: My SIM is currently blocked by my GSM Provider Bouygues Telecom
      because the backscatter shit has produced an  invoice  of  over
      3000 Euro while I was in hospital and I can not  more  read  my
      <linux4michelle> account...

Forcing me to set "Reply-To:" on all Mailinglists I am on, mean, that  I
I have to create 168 extra send-hooks in mutt...

If I start mutt from my Nokia, it take already 30 seconds  to  start  up
because heavy configurations, but forcing users to do things  because  a
handfull peoples do not want to use reliabel software/MUAs is more  then
annoying.

Since I get "legitim" PM's on my  mailinglist  messages,  those  peoples
then have always to remember, that the Mail goes to the list and if they
forget to change it, they send my business messages to the list which  I
do not like...

This problem was already mentioned by someone...
