Thanks, I understand now. If the result of this is that replies go to everyone on the list, this is something we don't want for our list. Private replies becoming public means trouble, and we have enough of it already when people Reply All by accident.

We've been getting by rejecting then manually forwarding yahoo and aol emails to the list. At least then accidental replies only come to us instead of everyone, and there's an obvious cue for the senders to get new addresses.
