it also fails under email type subscriptions.
Ie if the reply_goes_to_list option is set to this list then a user cannot
simply reply as the reply-to header is not set correctly.
I will try and figure it out, but being a novice at python etc I may not
come up with the goods :(

Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] bad Reply-To in subscription confirmation
I'm running 2.0beta6.
I have found a definite bug (or is it a feature?) in the headers of
outgoing confirmation requests.
It appears that if:
The user is trying to subscribe from the web interface.
The reply_goes_to_list option on the General Options of a list is
set to "This list" or "Explicit address" rather than poster then a
Reply-To header is inserted.
When the subscribing user tries to confirm by doing a simple reply,
the reply does not get sent to the <list name>-request mail name but
to the <list name> mail name of the explicit address.
This problem may also appear with majordomo style mail subscriptions,
I haven't checked that scenario yet.
I'm trying to ascertain exactly why the insertion of the Reply-To
header is not suppressed when the outgoing confirmation request is
generated. If nobody else beats me to it I'll try and generate a
patch to correct this. That is, unless somebody posts a convincing
denial of the problem I'm seeing.
I too get this.
If you subscribe over the web interface the reply-to address is set
correctly to listname-request. If you do it via email the
-request part is
omitted.
Spent hours looking thru the python source, but being a non-python user,
achieved not a lot :)

Subject: [Mailman-Users] bad Reply-To in subscription confirmation
Below is the header of a subscription confirmation email,
when you subscribe via email. The reply is supposed to go
to the -request
address but there's a Reply-To which directs the reply to
"DBs (Mailing List)" <dbsml@barrysworld.com> said:
the kind you get
the regular list
address, which triggers the "moderator approval."
Is there a way to fix this or can I just turn off the
confirmation option?
I have about 100 new users who are going to try to subscribe
today and it
would be nice if I could get this to work. I'm using mailman 2.0b6.
Here is the header:
