Recently I moved to a new server "in the cloud". I did this because of
the space, heat, noise, and electrical costs were uncomfortable to bear.
As a result, I've been dealing with various ISP's anti-spam efforts. One
of the problems encountered was that AOL insists that mail lists have
reply-to be the original sender rather than the list. I agree with you,
it seems stupid and arrogant on their part. I don't see how this would
stop spam either.
It's been a while with this "feature" implemented. Now might be a good
time for others to comment on their feelings.
I had an idea of a work around which involves two lists, a tesla-front and
a tesla list. AOL subscribers would subscribe to both and post to tesla.
Tesla wouldn't send them email but would send to the tesla-front list
which would then send to AOL subscribers. Still pondering this idea.

By the way, don't understand why the list - settings were changed by the
owner of the tesla-mailing list. Can anyone explain to me, why I always have
to enter tesla@xxxxxxxxxx as destination adress, when replying to a post? If
not, the answer only is sent to the original poster - this is completely
senseless, the idea behind a mailing list is, that everyone on it get's every
mail - isn't it?
