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.

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.
