But if you're not put off... you're right that it doesn't require
much. If you're using exim (which is the default MTA with Debian),
create a file ~/.forward containing the following (note that the line
"# Exim filter" must be the first line of the file):
# Exim filter
if $header_List-Id: contains "debian-user" and $header_Reply-To: does not contain "debian-user"
then
pipe "/home/yourusername/bin/du-add-reply-to"
seen finish
endif
and a file (with execute permissions) ~/bin/du-add-reply-to containing
the following:
#!/bin/bash
sed -e '/^From: /a\
Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org
' 2>/dev/null | /usr/sbin/exim -bm yourusername > /dev/null 2>&1
Nits can be picked with this :-) but it works for me (TM).
