I am owner of another mailing list (which happens to be
distributed by Listserv too) and there is an option
Reply-To which I set to 'List,ignore'.

Let me quote the Listserv manual:

**********************************************************************
* Reply-To= List | Sender | Both | <netaddress>,[ Respect | Ignore ] *
**********************************************************************

Indicates whether the "Reply-to:" tag supplied  by the sender of the mail
file is to  be preserved or discarded (if present),  and, if discarded or
omitted, what  should be placed in  the new "Reply-to:" generated  by the
server. The default value is "List,Respect".

Note that some mailing systems are  unable to process a "Reply-To:" field
with  multiple  addresses  correctly  and  may  therefore  disregard  the
Reply-to= Both option and treat it as Reply-to= List.

The parameters operate as follows:

1st position:

    List:         Replies are directed to the list address.

    Sender:       Replies are directed to the original sender.

    Both:         Reply to  both  the original  sender  and to  the  list
                  (see note regarding this above)

    <netaddress>  Replies are directed to the specified internet address
                  2nd position:

    Respect:      The original "Reply-to:" tag, if any, is kept. Note that
                  this means that the Reply-To: address specified  in the
                  first position is  ignored if a Reply-To: tag exists in
                  the original posting.

    Ignore:       The original  "Reply-to:" tag, if any, is  ignored and
                  discarded, and the value in the first position is used
                  instead.

=========================

Sorry for this intrusion which has very little to do with
calculators :-)
