  1. POphpmailer: Reply using only "Reply To" address
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using phpmailer on my website and to help with spam issues I have created a mailbox to send these emails from (using SMTP).</p> <p>I have set the emails to come <strong>from</strong> the mailbox address and then I have added a <strong>reply to</strong> address for where I want the replies to go to:</p> <pre><code>$mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail-&gt;IsSMTP(); $mail-&gt;SMTPAuth = true; $mail-&gt;SMTPSecure = 'tsl'; $mail-&gt;SMTPDebug = 1; $mail-&gt;Host = EMAIL_HOST; $mail-&gt;Port = EMAIL_PORT; $mail-&gt;Username = EMAIL_USER; $mail-&gt;Password = EMAIL_PASS; $mail-&gt;SetFrom('mailbox@email.com', 'Mailbox name'); $mail-&gt;AddReplyTo('replyto@email.com', 'Reply to name'); $mail-&gt;AddAddress('user@email.com', 'User name); </code></pre> <p>The emails send successfully and seem to get through the spam filters ok, <strong>but when I press reply it includes both the mailbox account and the reply to account</strong>.</p> <p>Is this what is meant to happen? I only want the reply to address to appear when you press reply. Is this even possible?</p> <p>Many thanks in advance for any help offered!</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>Looking at the email headers it seems like the from address is getting included in the reply to field. I have no idea why!</p> <pre><code>Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 11:16:25 +0100 To: User name &lt;user@email.com&gt; From: Mailbox name &lt;mailbox@email.com&gt; Reply-to: Mailbox name &lt;mailbox@email.com&gt;, Reply to name &lt;replyto@email.com Subject: Email subject Message-ID: &lt;54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd@localhost&gt; X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.1 (phpmailer.sourceforge.net) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd" --b1_54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd Content-Type: text/plain; charset = "iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit </code></pre>
