If at all possible, you should leave your Reply-To address empty.  The
list server will automatically set the Reply-To address to direct replies
to the list.  The server will not replace anything in the Reply-To field,
so your best bet is to simply leave it blank.

It is very rare to actually need a Reply-To address.  The only time you
really need it is when for whatever reason your sent mail carries an
incorrect From: address.  This can result from a misconfigured host or a
poorly set up mail server, but 99% or more of the time you really don't
need it, and it can cause problems in situations like this.  So if you
can, just leave it blank.
