Title: How do I change where replies to my list are sent?

Question: I want to configure my list so that all replies are sent to the
original sender/list/specific address. How do I do that?

Answer:

As a Mailman list owner, you can configure your list so that replies to
messages are directed to either the original sender, the entire list, or
to a specific email address. The location you choose will depend on the
type of list you want to have.

Replies directed to the original sender will cut down on list traffic.
This may be the setting you prefer if you want to have an "announcement"
type list. 

Replies directed to the entire list will promote list discussions. This
increases the amount of traffic on the list but it allows everybody to see
the discussions.

Replies directed to an explicit address are good for announcement type
lists with a parallel discussion type list.  If this is the type of list
you would like to have, select "Explicit address" and set the "Reply-To:"
address setting to the discussion list address. 

All of these settings can be found on the list administration page at

	http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listname

where "listname" is replaced by the actual name of your list. You will
need to log in with your UW NetID to access the administration pages. You
will find the "Reply-To" settings in the "General Options" section under
"Reply-To: header munging".
