This has come up before, and the answer was that the default
Reply-to: address cannot be changed. Just one of the costs of a
"free" list.<g>

But to the other thing, many mail programs, possibly including
Eudora Light, will let you filter your mail so that mail from this
list can go into its own folder. I do this on my setup by filtering
on the To: and CC: fields and looking for <sqft@listbot.com>. That
does it for me.
