Is there an easy way to set Reply-To to a lists owner?
 
            Hi again,
now, that Mailman3 is running smoothly I have a new question.
We have a bunch of lists, which are only used for spreading news.
Now the admin of theses lists (who happens to be my wife) asked me, if it was possible to change the settings such that all replys to one of these lists can only be sent to herself (i.e. the owner address) instead of being held for moderation.
I thought of setting Reply-To to something like <list-owner> by "simply" entering a Variable into this field, instead of using the admins/owners literal email-address.
Is this possible? Or is there another way of achieving the goal?

First of all, you can't really control where replies will go. This is dependent on the user's MUA and what the user does. However, you can set things so that replies will likely go where you want.
Here are various options for the Postorius -> Alter Messages Explicit  reply-to address and Reply goes to list settings.
If the sender of all the posts to the list is the list owner, just set
Reply goes to list to No Munging and a reply will go to the
sender, but reply-all will go to the sender and the list, and if the
user's MUA offers it, reply-list will go to only the list. To avoid
the reply-list issue, set Include the list post header to No and
to avoid the reply-all issue, set Message Acceptance -> Require  Explicit Destination to No and post with the list address in Bcc:.
If the sender is someone else, set Explicit reply-to address to
LISTNAME-owner@LIST.DOMAIN and set Reply goes to list to Explicit  Reply-to set; no Cc added. Also set Include the list post header to
No and consider setting Message Acceptance -> Require Explicit  Destination to No and posting with the list address in Bcc: as above.
Note that LISTNAME-owner@LIST.DOMAIN is the list posting address with
-owner added to the local part. This address forwards to the list's
owners and moderators.
