On my LISTSERV list, how can I control where replies are sent?

The Reply-To keyword in the list header controls the information that goes into the "Reply-To:" header in messages sent to a LISTSERV list. By default, the value of this keyword is set to Reply-To= List, Respect. The Respect part of this value causes LISTSERV to preserve any "Reply-To:" field that existed in the original posting.

Note: To complete the steps in this document, you will need to edit the list header; see On my LISTSERV list, how can I modify the list header?

Available options for the Reply-To keyword are as follows:

First parameter	Result
List	Replies go to the list address.
Sender	Replies go to the original sender.
Both	Replies go to both the original sender and to the list.
None	No "Reply-to:" header is generated unless ",Respect" is specified and a "Reply-to:" header is present in the original posting, in which case replies are directed to wherever the "Reply-To:" tag points.
net-address	Replies are directed to the specified Internet address.
Second parameter	Result
Respect	The original "Reply to:" tag on the posting, if any, is kept. If no valid "Reply To:" tag exists in the posting, the value defined in the first parameter of this keyword is used.
Ignore	The original "Reply to:" tag on the posting, if any, is ignored and discarded, and the value defined in the first parameter of this keyword is used instead. LISTSERV will not generate a "Reply to:" tag if Reply To= None,Ignore.

For more information about the Reply-To keyword, see the following information from the List Owner's Manual for LISTSERV:
