Any decent mailing list software will filter out these messages.
Get a better mailing list software if that happens.

I'm on dozens of mailing list that _have_ the reply-to field set and 
this doesn't happen there.

That's not the reason for not setting the Reply-To. The reason is 
that the poster cannot set it.

That said -- I don't care about the configuration this list, as I 
read it via gmane-NNTP anyhow, and there I have proper Newsgroup 
functionality. :-)

Cheers,
