and if you're crazy to suggest that people should be allowed to post to a mailing list and have a different reply to address than the one they subscribed to the mailing list, that is absurd. You sign up to a mailing list with an email address and usually only that email address is allowed to post to the mailing list. Mailing lists should reject any emails that have a reply to set, because replies will usually come through the mailing list & if you're not monitoring that email account then you're broken.
