You got that right.  Your current postmaster considers Reply-To to be a
header for the author of a message to set to whatever list of addresses
the author chooses -- and not for mailing list management software to
mess with.

Note, by the way, that the word "list" was placed in the above rather
intentionally.  :-)

I expect that there are a lot of folks who, upon reading this part of
the discussion, would find themselves bored to tears....
