Doesn't the list maintainer want to set the reply-to to

This probably needs to be "guest ok = yes" or so.

You probably also want to have a "guest user = <unix_account>" and "map
to guest = bad user"

You might want to try "man smb.conf" and then type "\guest" (which will
seach for guest in the man page) and then press "n" until you get to one
that looks useful ...
