As long as the list address is in a To: or Cc: header, reply-all will
include the list.

One way to do what you want is to address the list posts to the company
address with a Bcc: to the list address. You would then want to look
at Privacy options...->Recipient filters and either set
require_explicit_destination to 'No' or add the company address to
acceptable_aliases so that posts aren't held for approval.

Another approach would be to set

OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes

in mm_cfg.py and then enable full personalization (on the Non-digest
options page) for the list which will replace the list address in To:
with the recipient's address. This only works for regular posts, not
for digests and incurs a big performance penalty as each recipient
message must be sent individually.
