What is the difference between Reply-to and Return-path in
the headers of a mail function?
Answer Posted / rakesh kumar nautiyal
Here's a quick explanation for all of you as who wonder why
your mail goes out as "mailbot@buzzcast.com:
Customers of buzzcast can change their list properties so
that replies are either ignored (never-never land), or your
own address.
Either way, when the mail comes in, it says
To: Your Listname
From: Reply-to Name: (mailbot@buzzcast.com)
When you opr subscriber hit "reply" on the message you've
received, it will be the buzzcast customers email
(joepayingbuzzcastcustomer@hisdomain.com) if they have
chosen NOT to ignore replies.
The return path is set to us (mailbot.. ) ALWAYS, so we can
remove bad addresses from the accounts! Spiffy, eh?
Some customers may not anticipate this, or understand the
difference between from, reply-to and return-path
addresses.
Mail formats are not too difficult, but they are designed
with products like buzzcast in mind.
Remember that users will NEVER see html, code, or personal
information about your account when you mail them. Just a
cool looking campaign.
This has been a common question for me, so I thought I
would share it!
