When sending to a mailing list can I set the reply to address?

I have an issue where I have an admin area where various admins send mailshots out to members. The problem is that the reply to address is the same as the sending address, even if I set the reply to address in that email.
I know I can set it specifically from within SM, but if I'm sending the to mailing list from a form that will always be the same address, can I set it to any of the 5 sending admins addresses so members can reply to the correct person (instead of the noreply@ address or the sending address)?

Hello,

If you click on the mailing list from within webmail, you'll see the following settings: 
As you can see, there's a field for the list's Reply-To address. You can set this to the list address, the poster address, or a custom address. It sounds like you might see good results setting it to the address of one of your moderators or admins. Let me know if this helps!

Hi, I am aware of this setting but if there are a number of addresses I need the reply to to be then this doesn't work.

I use a web form that creates a template that gets sent from say website@thedomain.com
This can be sent from several different people (different admins have access to this form) who all have different addresses. I set the reply to on the web form sending code but as it's sent from website@thedomain.com SM always has this as the reply to address and not the person that's sent the post.
If SM had a setting that took the reply-to address and used that, this would all work a treat.

Thanks
Anthony
