   Recently I have installed Smail 3.1.18 on our machine and everything
is working perfectly.  No problems whatsoever.

   However, I have a question:

   When creating a "mailing-list" using the ":include:" structure
inside the aliases file, is it possible to have smail make the Reply-To:
appear to be the mailing list name?  Or perhaps the From: line?

   What I want is to make the mailing list look as though the
mailing list (called "Area-Users") was the actual sender.  This would
be lovely, as all replies would go back to the mailing list.

   Anyone have any tips on how to accomplish this?  Currently, the
(From:) line continues to show my name.  The only way to get it
to work is to put a "Reply-To:" field.  But replied messages will
of course not have this appended to THEM.

                                Thanks...
