Todd -
You can contact the list owner by sending mail to
nv-l-owner@lists.tivoli.com
but as I recall his posting when the list was set up, having replies go to
the send rather than the list automatically prevented some kind of loop
when people set up recurring out-of-office messages.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] nvmail
James,
My mailer sets a reply to to nv-l@lists.tivoli.com for this list for
this reason. I realize not everyone has the ability to that with
their mailer, however.
Does anyone have a hook into the list maintainer that could add such a
header to these messages by default?
I imagine a lot of folks are just replying to messages without
realizing that the reply is only going to a single individual rather
than the list.
