Then you need to delete the AD user 'root', unlike the earlier NT4-style 
samba domain, samba4 AD domains cannot have a user with the same name as 
a local Unix user. If you want a domain admin user, create one, allow it 
to use sudo and then use this user to administrate your domain. If 
something was to go wrong, you will still have the local 'root' account 
that you can use locally (or by a correctly setup ssh server) to fix the 
problem. If you think that your users will alter your root passwords, 
then you need to limit just what your users are capable of. If you do 
not know how to do this, or cannot find out how to do this, I would 
suggest that you need find another job.

Nothing to do with any list setting, you should get the replies if you 
are a list member, I normally just reply to list, but in this case I 
'CC'd' you

Because the list is well configured with a reply-to set to the list.

If you want to be part of a list, why not just join the list for the period
you want to interact with it, rather than cause unnecessary work for people
you're trying to communicate with?
