The list can certainly set the "reply-to" headers to anything. I guess I 
missed earlier mail from you requesting that the behavior of the list be
changed. I do apologize if I did. I have changed the configuration so
the list will put a "reply-to: ietf-nntp at academ.com" in the header now.

By the way, I was searching the RFCs and I couldn't find anywhere were
setting the "Reply-to" header in a mailing list was required. Could you
point that out to me? I'd hate to not use the "Reply-to" headers properly,
but if there is no RFC defining a requirement, I believe that there is no 
"proper" requirement to set them.
