Hi Nyar,
You are right, "reply-to" by default is set to "LIST" (Gambia-L. This settings can be changed to "SENDER" but then you will have the same problem the other way round because comments will be automatically sent to the sender instead of to the Gambia-l which is not the purpose.

This setting is delibrately done to avoid comments mistakingly being sent only to the sender but to all subscribers. Is it not what a mailing list like ours is for?

regards,
Momodou Camara
