Problem #1: One of my friends (who isn't tech savvy and doesn't read directions) was my guinea pig and successfully joined. The problem is he tried to send his first e-mail to the list by simply replying to the welcome e-mail, so he e-mailed my-list-request@mailmanlists.org and not my-list@mailmanlists.org. Wouldn't surprise me if others do the same thing. Is there any option to change the address the welcome e-mail comes from? Is there any other good ways to mitigate this problem?
You could edit the text of the "Welcome email" and have an alert at the top of the message with something like:
/////////////////////////// DO NOT reply to this email. To post a message to the list, address it to my-list@mailmanlists.org ///////////////////////////
See: General Options > Edit the public HTML pages and text files > Welcome email text file
