I thought there was a rule in RFC822 that says:
 
if there is a reply-to field, reply should go to this address
if there is no reply-to field, reply should go to the sender address
if there is neither a reply-to or a sender field, reply should go to
  the from address
 
So why shouldn't this scheme be followed for mails to the listserv machine ?
