[Mailman-Users] reply-to header

[Karen R McArthur]

My host_name *is* set to lists.bates.edu.  Following is a snip from my 
config_list -o command:

# The "host_name" is the preferred name for email to mailman-related
# addresses on this host, and generally should be the mail host's
# exchanger address, if any.  This setting can be useful for selecting
# among alternative names of a host that has multiple addresses.
host_name = 'lists.bates.edu'

And I have run fix_url - twice.
