Can you set a "reply to" with a mailing list?

[Erica C.]

I manage the mailing lists for my quilt guild's site. We have an announcement list that a number of people can send announcements to; they're set as moderators. But from time to time, someone other than a moderator has a message for the members. Such a message would be sent to me and I send it to the list.

When I send a message on behalf of someone else, inevitably replies come to me as list owner. No matter what I say in the message itself: "Please reply to jane@doe.com", "Please don't just hit reply, use jane@doe.com" some messages will still come to me. Is there a way to set an automatic "reply to" jane@doe.com when I'm sending out messages from someone else.

I suspect the answer is no but thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

The best way to accomplish this is to set a Reply-To: header when sending the message itself. The instructions for doing this will vary depending on which mail program you are using.

If that is not possible, you can configure ezmlm to add a Reply-To: header to outgoing messages. This configuration will however need to be reverted after the message is sent, to prevent it from being added to future messages. To do so, add the following line to the "headeradd" file in the list directory:Reply-To: jane@doe.com

Thank you! :clapper:
