Sorry for beating a *very* dead horse, but I believe that 
Chris/Sourcefire/Sourceforge/etc has this list configured properly.

To put this issue to bed, refer to the Majordomo listserver FAQ:
        http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/majordomo-faq.html#3.4

I manage serveral security lists and (prior to a private e-mail being 
sent to the mailing list) had all replies sent back to the mailing list. 
Needless to say, all of my lists are now changed to the "correct" (ala 
snort-users) format.

Now back to Snort IDS discussions?
