Errors should bounce back to [log in to unmask] by default, and be processed by Listserv. To tune how they are handled, use the 'Auto-delete=' parameter in the list header. If you need the bounces to go someplace else (for instance, to a mailbox that will parse the bounces and remove entries from a database that is used to regenerate the list membership), use the 'Errors-To=' parameter in the list header. Setting 'Replies-to=' allows you to tailor where replies to the mail will go by default. Note however that this is an *advisory* setting only, and will *NOT* prevent a determined user from replying/forwarding to some other address.
