Depends on list settings (anonymous_list)

Depends on list settings

This is under control of the list owner. The recommended way is to not
do any Reply-To: munging. In this case, "reply" will go to Joe or
Joe's own Reply-To: address and "reply all" or "group reply" will go
to the list and any other recipients as well.

You can set things so simple "reply" goes to the list, but this makes
it difficult to reply to Joe only.

The "Details for reply_goes_to_list" link on the General Options page
has more discussion of this.
