Much as I adore the almost wonderful irony of "The IESG" having an address of <noreply(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org> - especially in the light of John's closing comment there - many MUAs will then cheerfully offer that as an address for "The IESG".

If that is a dev-null address, as noreply@ often implies, it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. You might want a different phrase, there - "IESG Announcements", or something.

My guess about the problem is that people choose "Reply to All". That generates more mail for iesg-secretary@. Using a few (sieve) rules might alleviate the problem.
