Nut upsuser - Feb 2024 - Keeping the traffis on or off the list ?

I would guess that reply-to is getting added because of header munging.
Turn off munging and this all goes away.

Please re-read my email that explains the current setup of the list:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2024-February/013560.html

TL;DR we are not root on the mailing list server.

This has worked out well enough for a few decades, during which time I
acknowledge that email standards have moved a bit (an as users of the Alioth
mailing list service, we have not had to think about this much). The only time
this is a problem is when a major email provider decides to switch to hard
enforcement of standards like DKIM, and a raft of people get unsubscribed due to
the bounce messages.

The list currently has "reply_goes_to_list" set to "poster".
According to the documentation:
> reply_goes_to_list: This variable controls whether Mailman will add its own
Reply-To: header, and if so, what the value of that header will be (not counting
original header stripping - see above).
> 
> When you set this variable to Poster, no additional Reply-To: header will
be added by Mailman. This setting is strongly recommended.
The other settings will explicitly add a Reply-To header.

Maybe this is a bug in either Mailman or its documentation. Either way, with the
knobs we have available to us, I am inclined to do the next best thing, which is
to set the reply-to back to the list (and maybe add a disclaimer to the footer
of the list to pay attention to the destination addresses). If that is not
acceptable, I think the idea of moving to an alternate mailing list server is
still on the table. (I have my hands full managing my home email server, so I am
not volunteering for this job.)

[please use Reply-All as we get this all sorted out, thanks. No intentional
asides to me; I will instinctively add back the list address as I have been
doing manually for years when people email me directly about NUT issues.]
