"Reply to" masking

[Andrew Herring]

I'm trying to manage e-mail traffic for several
departments at the company I work at. Each department has
a distribution list on our Host server, which forwards
mail to anyone in that department. Some people are in
multiple distribution lists, others only in one. However,
when anyone replys, the e-mail goes out from their e-mail
address, and any reply to it only returns to the
individual who sent it, not their whole department. Reply-
All is a pain, because we work with people all over the
nation, and even when you ask a recipient to Reply-All,
they won't necessarily do it. Is their a way to mask
the "Reply To" address on individual e-mails (without
changing it in the Services), allowing the sender to make
sure that replies to each e-mail they send out go back to
whichever department (distribution list) they want?

I can't set the permissions to allow use of the "from"
field because outlook doesn't recognize the addresses;
they're only distribution lists on the incoming mail
server. I've just been informed that I'm between a rock
and a hard place until I get my incoming and outgoing mail
through a single server. Does everyone agree with this?
