While you cannot guarantee suppressing someone reading your distributions
doing a "reply all", you can encourage what you want and you can guarantee
who is authorized to post.

See the "Reply-To=" statement for directing replies.   For example,
"Reply-To= sender,ignore" will turn a "reply button into a reply to the
author.  Replace "sender" with an email address and that's where replies
will be encouraged to go.   It's not for sure ... people can put what they
want into their "To:" field of their reply, so you must control who may
post to your list.

There are a number of ways to accomplish this.  Another contributor has
shown you one.   One I usually prefer causes all subscribers to have the
"nopost" subscription option ... except for the people you wish to be able
to post.    You limit to subscribers posting by "Send= private" or "Send=
Private,confirm" and have all your subscribers have "nopost".  New
subscribers will be set automatically with "Default-options= nopost".   Use
a "set" command with "quiet" to give all current subscribers "nopost"
(syntax left to you). Finally change your poster subscriptions to remove
"nopost".


Cheers, Wayne
