What difference does it make to impose a "Reply-To" header at the post-commit hook level or at the mailing list level? The overall effect is the same.
Well, this was a general rule. If someone (who is not the post-commit hook) sends a message to the mailing-list, I think this should be treated as a normal mailing-list message and should not have a "Reply-To:" (except the possible one added by the user). And in some cases, the post-commit hook may have more information than the mailing-list manager to decide what should go to the Reply-To.
True, but nobody other than the post-commit hook should ever be sending anything to the macports-changes list, right?
Yes, no-one else should send mail to that list, it is read-only to the effects of everyone but the post-commit hook. So even though Vincent makes some good points, in this case the overall result is still the same regardless of where the Reply-To's are set. But well, done with the dissertation exercise, Bill will cover for us at the post-commit hook as soon as he gets a chance. Regards,... -jmpp
