Well that's an improper Reply-To: address and that may be the problem.
Reply-To: is an optional field anyway, so I doubt LISTSERV would check it
for commands (it does during list posts of course, for possible re-write
depending on List settings).

I don't know of a definitive statement in the manuals, but experiment has
shown me that From: seems to be the constant necessary to work, even when
Sender: and Reply-To: addresses are not the same.
