Sorry to drag this out but I operate several Majordomo lists on my server and 
part of the problem of answers not going back to the list has just been sovled
by the this list owner changing the  _reply_to_ varibale in the list config file. I 
see now that the reply to that was set to the sender is now the list. 

I also understand why this was set that way in the first place. So that no 
"looping" would occur with autoresponders. Most mail clients have the 
choice to send to "all" which would have included both the list and the 
poster. 

So, good heads up to the list-owner.
