I have multiple forums and multiple mailing list rules. By default, all messages forwarded by fudforum to any forum subscibers are sent by forum(at)mysite(dot)com, what I call the broadcasting account.

If a user hits reply in their email client instead of in the body of the message, they accidentally reply to the broadcasting account, and no post occurs. I'm using auto-response to tell them of the boo-boo.

Ideally, the rule could be tweaked so that outbound broadcasts are sent from the inbound, post-to-forum email account, ie: list1(at)mysite(dot)com sends messages and receives messages posted to list1 forum. So if a user hits Reply in Thuderbird or Outlook, a message gets posted.

Can I get a pointer in the right direction? Any reason this can't work? I'll be happy to share my solution.

Jeff
