Messages on my list normally are sent with the "Reply-To" header set to the
list;  when recipients choose "reply", the reply is addressed to the list
as a whole.  Yesterday, a subscriber (only subscribers can post) sent an
advertisement where "Reply-To" was the same as "From";  any replies would
go directly to him  My question is how did he do this and how do I prevent
future occurences?  Does a "Reply-To" header in the incoming message
prevent listserv from sending a new "Reply-To"?
 
Here's the header from the message in question:
