[OpenSIPS-Users] mailing list reply-to : list or sender

[Brett Nemeroff]

I agree with you here. Even if it's "different" than the way most of your
other lists work, "Poster" simply makes more sense. And I don't think
another way should be picked because the poster might do the wrong thing. I
think it's up to all of us to reply to the list as appropriate.
For me, If I'm reading a message from a specific person, and I hit "reply"
I'm replying to that person. If I hit "reply to all" I'm replying to
everyone. This just makes sense to me.

And if you set to "The List", it's very hard to reply to the poster. Since
neither reply to reply-all will get you the email of the poster.
