The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Mark F. Heiman" <address@concealed>]

We’ve recently begun to see a lot of problems with people sending messages to 
the listname-request@ address, rather than the listname@ address, not 
realizing that their message isn’t being seen by the list subscribers.  
Apparently the -request address is getting into their address books through 
other Sympa interactions, and autofill does the rest. The listowners often 
don’t realize that they’ve gotten a misdirected message, thinking it just 
came through the list.

Ideally, I’d love to be able to set up some sort of auto reply on all the 
-request addresses, confirming that the message has been sent to the list 
owners (and only to the list owners).

Has anyone else dealt with this issue?
