If I understand correctly what your issue is, the bottom line is you
can't control this.

If you have configured your list with reply_goes_to_list = Explicit
address and reply_to_address = the address you want, say
user at example.com, then a post from the list will be sent out with the
headers

To: the list address
From: the original sender
Reply-To: user at example.com

The issue is that these are only 'suggestions' to the recipient's MUA
(mail client) as to what to do when the recipient says 'reply' or
'reply-all'. Most MUAs understand that Reply-To: takes precedence over
From: and will address a reply only to user at example.com, but not all do.

Also most will address a 'reply-all' to in this case user at example.com
and the list address but some will include the original sender in a
'reply-all'.
