    I have hundreds of users on my lists, including UUCP, Internet, BITNET,
    MILNET, EARNET, MCI Mail, CompuServe and elsewhere.  This is what I do:
     
    	From: Joe Contributor <joeblow@imelda.street.edu>
    	Sender: LEPROSY-REQUEST@bfmny0.BFM.COM
    	Errors-To: LEPROSY-REQUEST@bfmny0.BFM.COM
    	Reply-To: LEPROSY@bfmny0.BFM.COM
    	To: LEPROSY (Hansens Disease Interest Group)
     
The right thing to do in this case is:

    From: Joe Contributor <joeblow@imelda.street.edu>
    Sender: LEPROSY-REQUEST@bfmny0.BFM.COM
    Errors-To: LEPROSY-REQUEST@bfmny0.BFM.COM
    To: LEPROSY@bfmny0.BFM.COM (Hansens Disease Interest Group)

The :; case is for lists which are user specified (usually in personal
configuration files of one sort or another) and CANNOT be replied to.

Your version works, but it really it is one more line than necessary.
Besides, didn't the original sender provide a TO line that looked like
"LEPROSY@bfmny0.BFM.COM" anyway?
