It only happens to users from some domains.  I have seen it only with
btinternet.com and ntlworld.com.  Like you I can send replies off-list
to senders from other domains such as gmail and my own isbd.net.

There is a faq entry about it on the groups.io web site, that's where
I found it has something to do with DMARC.
