I think there is a good instruction at the cobalt knowledge base. It is
about changing the a conf file. If I find it I will send it.

        From the knowledgbase.

      Normally, when you create a mailing list, the reply-to default
configuration is set so that a reply to a mailing list goes to the whole
list, as a discussion list would function.
      These directions allow you to set the reply-to default configuration
of your mailing list so that a reply to a mailing list goes to the sender of
the message instead, as a distribution list would function.

To change the list preference for all future mailing lists, change the
following:
      /usr/local/majordomo/config_parse.pl

      From:
      'reply_to', '#! local($TEMP) = $list;
      if ( $list =~/-digest$/) {
      $TEMP =~ s/-digest$//;
      $TEMP;
      } else {
      "";
      }',

      To:
      'reply_to', '$SENDER',
      #'reply_to', '#! local($TEMP) = $list;
      # if ( $list =~ /-digest$/) {
      # $TEMP =~ s/-digest$//;
      # $TEMP;
      # } else {
      # "";
      # }',



      To change the list preference for each existing mailing list, search
for each list's configuration file, such as home.config, and change the
following:
      /usr/local/majordomo/lists/home.config

      From:
      reply_to =

      To:
      reply_to = $SENDER

P.V., what I'm really looking for is for the "LIST" name to appear in the receivers "FROM" field, instead of the "SENDERS" name appearing. Currently, when any list user receives mail (using OE for example since most of the users are on winDOZE), the "FROM" field shows the last "SENDERS" name, instead of the "LIST" name - but I do have majordomo set that all replies will return to the list (test-list@xxxxxxxxxx).....what I want to accomplish is for the receiver to see the "LIST" name in the "FROM" field instead of the previous "SENDERS" name.....I know that this can be accomplished with ListServ, but just couldn't determine if it can be accomplished with majordomo. Thanks for the tips.....
Mike
