The list configuration should *not* be changed, see:

In addition to the points listed in the URL, the gentoo lists have
previously been the victim of poorly configured mail clients that resulted
in the list(s) being spammed with "Joe User's Mailbox is full, please try
later".  With reply-to munging this went to the list, back to Joe User and
then bounced again, lather, rinse, repeat!

Evolution as reply-to list, as does SquirrelMail.  I believe that Mozilla
has an option to mark a folder as belonging to a mailing list and allows
you to specify a default reply-to address for that folder.

Configure procmail appropriately on your mail server (or local box) and
you won't get the duplicates either (see:
