Hmmm, I hadn't realized this.  However, looking at the Mailman  
configuration it says:

---
Where are replies to list messages directed? "Poster" is strongly  
recommended for most mailing lists.
---

I had it set to "Poster".  I've changed it to "List".  I think this  
is probably OK, since we only let subscribers post now (I'd rather  
let anyone do it, but the spam management was terrible).

It's frustratingly quiet anyway :-)
