digest reply-to

[Alan.Rubin]

Hello,

Where can you set an explicit digest reply-to email address?  I have tried the
General Options and the reply-to is always to the list no matter what I change
(even if I set an explicit reply-to address).  If I have a one-way list that
only sends in digest, I don't want people/autoresponders to pick up the list as
the reply-to and fill up the next digest (in the case when an allowed poster is
on holidays and fails to set their out-of-office policy correctly, for example).

Those settings only apply to messages. Currently, From: and Reply-To:
for digests are set to the list address in
Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py in the send_i18n_digests() function.

You're dealing with broken autoresponders if they're responding to to
digests in the first place so you can't predict what they will do with
Reply-To:, however, you could do something like changing

    mimemsg['Reply-To'] = mlist.GetListEmail()

to

    if mlist.reply_to_address:
        mimemsg['Reply-To'] = mlist.reply_to_address
    else:
        mimemsg['Reply-To'] = mlist.GetListEmail()

and similarly a few lines below with rfc1153msg['Reply-To']. This will
honor the list's reply_to_address if there is one.
