Ooops - I forgot to mention - I suggested sender=...,confirm but the idea was rejected.

Greetings,

I own a few dozen lists (listserv 17.0) and I normally set: "Reply-To= Sender,Respect". This way well behaved MUAs (mailers) will send the reply to  the original sender of the message, unless he/she explicitly defined another address to be replied to. Of course, there's also the human factor, those pressing on "reply all"... On some lists the ratio of noise to data has become very large and I was asked to find a solution. I can't see anything doable with listserv's options, or am I wrong?

Someone suggested here to have the users send the (original) message as BCC, but after listserv processing, the user receives the mail in such a way that the listname appears in the to field, and then - back to square 1, the human factor. Any ideas what can be done?

Thanks,
/Zvika
