Except that mailing lists are not what RFC 822 defined "Reply-to:" for.
Its primary purpose is quite different; it's to force a reply to a valid
address when the sender's "From:" is not valid.
Quote: "The "Reply-To" field is added by the originator"
The RFC 822 method would be to set the "From:" field to
"classiccmp_at_classiccmp.org" , and set the "Sender:" field to the name of
the person who originated the message (which is exactly the opposite to
what majordomo is doing, I notice, but that's perfectly legitimate).
