I disagree. 1) I'm on many of other mailing lists where the reply-to
goes to the list, and I have yet to notice any list-wide error
messages, so I think the chances of "everyone receiving the bounce"
are low. 2) If everyone DID get an bounced error message, then people
would complain and the problem would be fixed quickly (i.e. the bad
email address would be removed from the list).
So whether your fear of receiving copies of the error message are
justified or not, I think it would be better to change the list
reply-to setting.
