[OpenSIPS-Users] mailing list reply-to : list or sender

[Victor Gamov]

I read many list many years and OpenSER-based software lists (OpenSER, 
OpenSIPS) are only lists where I send reply to poster when I press 
"reply" button.

If I send my questions into list than I expect to read answers at list 
but not as my personal email.

IMHO
