Not quite.  Reply-To must point to a valid Internet mailbox, and it is
set by the originator of a message.  Check the definition of the header
and compare it with the definition of the Sender header.

SG> Setting Reply-To to the list name is an example of the third case above.

The message *originator*, the author, setting Reply-To is an example of
the third case.  The message *sender*, Majordomo, setting Reply-To is a
violation of all three cases because it is not the originator.
