Hi all, To answer my own question below, the only way we've found to do this so far is to ask that all postings go to an e-mail account that has a procmail filter that creates/overwrites the original user's "reply-to" line. This account then forwards to the list-L@listservdomain address. I'd still love a way to alter the reply-to for the users who either send directly to list-L@listservdomain or use the listserv web page for submitting messages. However since I got zero responses, I'd guess no one else is doing this.
