You shouldn't be touching any of the perl code, just change the per
list config file. The procedure for doing that is in the majordomo
README. In brief, assuming the password for your list is foobar you do
the following:
send email to majordomo with the command:
config indiepop foobar
edit the received message so that the first line before the
config file is:
newconfig indiepop foobar
set the reply_to variable
reply_to = indiepop@my.site
email the new config file back to majordomo
You may want to be careful with this. Some stupid mailers use the
reply-to address to send bounces to. This could result in a nasty loop
if you are unlucky.

If you are using resend for mail distribution, this should already be
happening. See if messages to the list have a sender: header in them.
Also the "From " (that's "From" followed by a space) line should show
the same as the header line. If not make sure the sender variable is
set in the config file.
If it is, check to see if resend is being used. If it isn't then there
is no way to set the reply-to or sender addresses. Resend is the only
way majordomo can change the messages on the mailing list.
Also, even with the sender: header and the concurrent envelope setting
(reflected in the "From " line), some mailers will always bounce to
the From: line, or to the reply-to lineor something equally as stupid.
