Subject: Majordomo and Reply-to

After my panic of last week, I've been trying to get Majordomo to write it's
"Reply-to" address as Majordomo-owner instead of Majordomo to avoid the kind
of mail feedback war I got into.

I've spoken to a number of people running Majordomo, and at some sites it
automagically does this, and at others it doesn't.  I have read the FAQ and
all the install docs many times over, and checked and rechecked my config.

The only way I could get Majordomo to not use "Majordomo" as the reply-to
address was by hacking the 'majordomo' script thusly:

# Open the sendmail process to send the results back to the requestor
&sendmail(REPLY, $reply_to, "Majordomo results$sub_addin", "Majordomo-owner");

Two questions ...

a) will the above hack come back and bite me in some way?

b) Any ideas what I'm doing wrong in the first place?

Setup is Alpha with OSF/1, majordomo 1.93 and perl 5.000.  Oh, and the
standard OSF/1 sendmail (until I get time to put up 8.6.x).
