Reply-to set to tiles at home list.

Since there's no automatic account creation for uploads, but people have 
instead to ask for an account by email, I think the risk of having 
spammers is negligible. Anyway there's still a log file giving details 
of who uploaded a zipfile when, and if really required, the last inode 
modification of the tile in question can be compared to the list of the 
uploads.

Bye
Frederik
