[Mailman-Users] Basic bounce processing question

Follow up question on the below suggestion.
In this configuration if a user replies, they will be replying to the
-bounces address which will then send email to the Admin - not the entire
list?
How do I configure the list to use the "basename", without the -bounces, in
the Sender: field?
Thanks,
Mike

| You do this in the MTA. If the MTA has an alias like:
|
| listname-bounces: "|/path/to/mail/mailman bounces listname"
|
| You change it to
|
| listname-bounces: "|/path/to/mail/mailman owner listname"
|
| If the MTA uses some other kind of routing for Mailman, you do the
| equivalent thing.
|
| Note that bounces from RFC compliant MTAs will always be returned to
| the listname-bounces address (the envelope sender). That address is
| also put in Sender: and Errors-To: headers in the outgoing mail to
| help non-compliant MTAs get it right. Still, there are non-compliant
| MTAs that will return bounces to the From: or other header address.
| There's nothing Mailman can do about that.
