If the sourceForge mailer is smart enough to deal with auto-responders, then
I agree it is much more convenient to have the reply button send to the
list.

I don't really know much about mailing lists, but I just went to the mailman
home page (www.list.org), and one of the features listed is "Integrated
bounce detection within an extensible framework. Automatic disposition of
bouncing addresses (disable, unsubscribe)". So it sounds like it's taken
care of. Until proven otherwise, I retract my previous suggestion, and
instead suggest we leave it as Dimitri just set it, to reply to the list.

Though you might want to dig around in the list admin options, Dimitri, and
see if there is something that has to be turned on to enable this.
