Reply-To email address

From Site5Wiki

A Reply-To email address allows you to send from one email address, but automatically receive responses at another. This setting's default is, across the board, the same email address from which you're sending email, no matter the email client, server, or provider.
So why would someone want to change this setting?

• consolidation of email for storage
• setting up an annoucement-only, or outgoing-email-only, situation; all responses would be sent to a designated blackhole address.
• wanting to send email from work/Site5 email accounts/home, but receive it at another virtual/physical location

Once this setting is changed, it requires no further maintenance.
A header is added to each outgoing email, notifying any receiving email server/client that the respondent does not equal the sender, and this information is transparently processed (meaning it's handled behind the scenes, so to speak, and does not present itself as a whiny hassle).

If you use Squirrelmail for webmail, you can set this address quite easily:

1. Go to http://www.yourdomain.tld:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php: Port 2095 is your webmail port.
2. Click on Options at the top of the screen.
3. Click on Personal Information when then Options screen appears, and you'll be presented with a form, and the reply-to address setting, as seen in the screenshot, is at the top. Simply fill out, and save.
