Group,
Is there a way to prevent the list email address appearing when a user chooses "Reply to All"?
It is not a problem with "Reply" - that goes to the poster - but Reply to All still sends to the entire list - not desirable in our situation.

There is no combination of list settings that will prevent "reply all" from including the list posting address.
If your list is a one-way or announcement type list, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/3YA9> for advice on configuring it.

Not in the way you state it. That's under control of the user's mail program, and inclusion of the list's address is the logical outcome of a command called "Reply to All".
There is an option in Mailman for "full personalization" of list traffic. In that case, the list's address is removed from the visible headers entirely, and the user's name and address are substituted.

It would help if you explain in more detail what is and is not desirable. It is probably possible to achieve a pretty good approximation to what you want.
You could filter messages discarding anything with the X-BeenThere header, this would prevent any message that came out of mailman from being processed again. OTOH I suspect that an announce-only list would be preferable.

MUAs generally do not copy X-BeenThere: headers into replies. If they did, it would be impossible to reply to a list post as Mailman ignores any post to a list with an X-BeenThere: header from that list in order to prevent mail loops resulting from 'circular' list memberships.

Full Personalization will not help in this case. When the list is fully personalized, the list posting address is put in or added to the Cc: header precisely to facilitate replying to the list with "reply all".
