rule to ask before sending to a specific address?

[Guest]

I manage a listserve of 140 members. The members hit 'reply' and send their
reply to all 140 members rather than just one.

Is there a way to make a rule that asks 'Are you sure you want to send to
this address?' when mail is sent to the Listserve address.

The closest rule I can find would be to delay sending to that address for a
number of minutes.

That's probably the best you'll get, but, if you take a look at the
properties of your listserv, does it give you the ability to set the
Reply-To of mails sent to the Listserv so that it is the original sender?

Basically, in an SMTP message, there are two headers that come into play
when someone does a Reply: From and Reply-To. Both of those headers are
SMTP addresses and a client, when replying to a message, should send the
reply to the Reply-To address (if it exists) before it sends to the From.

What software do you use to manage the listserv? Someone might know
something about it to give some suggestions.

What? Go to the source? Who would have thought?

That seems to be the solution for my quick reply group. I appreciate your
advice.
