The relevant headers look like this on messages resent to FreeBSD distribution lists: --- Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG> Received: from mx2.freebsd.org (mx2.freebsd.org [216.136.204.119]) by freebie.atkielski.com (8.11.3/8.11.3) with ESMTP id gAN51x984132 for <anthony@freebie.atkielski.com>; Sat, 23 Nov 2002 06:02:01 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG) [...] From: "Jeremy C. Reed" <reed@reedmedia.net> [...] Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG --- Under RFC 2822 (3.6.2), which obsoletes RFC 822, replies are sent as follows: "The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the 'Reply-To:' field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the absence of the 'Reply-To:' field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the 'From:' field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the reply. In the case of FreeBSD list messages, the "From:" field points to the person who posted to the list, not to the list itself. Replying to the person who posted, then, is correct behavior for the mail agent. The headers should contain a "Reply-To:" header pointing to the list. Majordomo is capable of doing this, so somebody has turned it off for the FreeBSD lists, for reasons unknown. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
