This influences on the e-mail header ‘Reply-To’. If this ‘Reply-To’ is absent the mail user agents are supposed to send reply mail to the address from ‘From’ field. When an e-mail is sendt trough the mailing list with ‘Reply-To’ field enabled this ‘Reply-To’ contains mailing list address. For example: ‘Reply-To: openlist@home.net’ When this ‘Reply-To’ is absent in the mail header, MUAs use ‘From’ to get an address to reply to. ‘From’ field alwais contains the sender address. For example: ‘From: “root” ‘ Generally: Enable ‘Reply-To’ – reply to mailing list by default. Disable ‘Reply-To’ – reply to sender by default.
