Unfortunately, they're using the commercial LSoft Listserv product.

For some reason, they only have a 1.8c User Manual (circa 1996), so you'll
have to look at the List Owner's manual for available options:

As you can see, there are no such options documented in the Listserv
product.


... however, if you're using procmail for local mail delivery, you could
rewrite the headers as they arrive, and strip the 'reply-to' header off:

If procmail isn't the default for local mail delivery, and you're on a
unix (or similar) system, you can adjust your .forward file to execute
procmail.
