when they are manually approved and forwarded is the reply-to auto updated to openstack-discuss? im assuming the mail from openstack@lists.openstack.org was one that was forwarded.
A great question... it doesn't seem to do so, no. I'll see if I can figure out whether there is a convenient option to make that happen.
Our resident Mailman guru (James E. Blair) pointed me to the necessary magic to cause the old lists to transitively accept posts from subscribers of the new list, so at least new-list subscribers' replies to old-list threads will go to them without sticking in moderation now. Turning on Reply-To munging, even if only for the next few weeks, was more of a behavior change for openstack-discuss than we were comfortable enacting. Consciously updating To/Cc fields to go to openstack-discuss when you notice it would probably be a good tactic in lieu of something more automatic and insidious. After December 3 people trying to reply to old list addresses will just get rejections, but hopefully by then they will have figured this out (I'll also try to send some more reminders to them in the meantime). Thanks again for the deep thoughts regarding this transition, and PLEASE don't anyone hesitate to mention other similar problems they happen to spot. I know it's the week after the Summit and a holiday week for some chunk of the World, but I'll do my best to be around and act quickly on anything we need to keep this as smooth as we can manage. It's a big and potentially disruptive change so I really appreciate how positive everyone's been about it so far! -- Jeremy Stanley
