Hi. I co-moderate bit.listserv.devmedia. I just noticed that mail messages that go through the gateway to netnews retain the Reply-to: devmedia@uoguelph.ca header that is standard for the mailing list's messages. The problem is that when bit.listserv.devmedia subscribers try to make a personal reply to a message on the newsgroup, the mail is sent by default to the mailing list address, and, if the the subscriber is not also a mailing list subscriber, our listserv will bounce the message. Is there any way to have the gateway software convert the Reply-to: header to the same address as the From: header?
