Reply-To will be set to the list, unless a sender has already

It doesn't usually allow messages from non-subscribers. But
if you respond to a list message, it will be accepted. When
spammers start forging list-subscriber addresses, or follow
up to existing messages, we will have to turn on SPF checks.

We are trying to achieve final solutions. Munging email
addresses on mailing lists is the sort of secondary effect
that we're trying to not have to do any more.
