You could set the reply address to the list address - in the web interface.
It's shown as deprecated - but works well for me.

> In the header there are at least three instances of the address:

> Sender:
> Return-Path
> Errors-To:

> All contain an address that can be too easily mistaken for the list

> That means I end up having to do personal contact with way too many people

> I notice that this list does not show me the real address in those headers,

> Sender: mailman-users-bounces+myaddress=mydomain.org at python.org

> So I would guess that the list admin for this listserver rarely sees users
