There's a problem when you try to link two (or more) lists in a peer-to- peer fashion. A. You normally want replies to back to the list. B. If someone wants replies to go directly to him, instead, you want to allow him to specify a Reply-To: line to force that. When you're running just a single list, with no linked copies, this is easy: just specify REPLYTO= LIST,RESPECT. If you're running two list servers linked together peer-to-peer, this causes some unintended results. 1. Assume the sender is on LISTSERV A, and sends mail without a REPLY-TO to his LISTSERV. 2. Subscribers on LISTSERV A get mail with SENDER: being the list on LISTSERV A, and a REPLY-TO: for the same list. 3. Subscribers on LISTSERV B get mail with SENDER: being the list on LISTSERV B, and a REPLY-TO: for the list on LISTSERV A! This isn't what you want, so you consider using LIST,IGNORE. Now every subscriber gets mail with SENDER: and REPLY-TO: pointing to the list on their respective LISTSERV. This satisfies requirement A above. But remember requirement B: Now if a subscriber on wants to send mail, including his own REPLY-TO:, it gets thrown away! The problem appears to be that LISTSERV doesn't realize in all the places that it needs to that a subscriber to a list is actually another linked list. Somehow it needs to be aware of that and ignore REPLY-TOs that specify a linked list, but respect ones which specify anyone else. Richard
