Well, if someone writes to the old address, it gets forwarded to this list with the following headers: Reply-To: Community support for Fedora users <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Fedora List <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Correctly stating where it went to, and where replies should go. If, while using Evolution, I press "reply," my response is addressed thus: To: Community support for Fedora users <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> And mail works like it's supposed to (it goes to the right list, and only the right list, as the list owners want it to work). But, if I press "reply to all," I get this: To: Community support for Fedora users <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Fedora List <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Which, ordinarily *might* be a useful thing, though often not (the reply-to being a "reply there, *instead*," instruction), and definitely not in this case. I think it would be best if the redirection on the old list was re-organised, so that it either: a. Sends back an error message, and the person has to manually repost to the new list. They will, quite quickly, drop doing anything with the old list because all posts to it will error. The old list was supposed to stop being used long ago, that we should be proactively discouraging laziness. b. Sends the message to the new list, with appropriately re-written headers that do *not* include the old list address, in any way. If you want to migrate people over, rather than maintain two lists, you actually have to move people off the old list. Which means doing something like one of the above suggestions, and probably also deleting all the memberships on the old list, and making it impossible to sign up for it, again. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
