Hello, I never tried it but I think you can use the mail API to send an email from the same servlet you use to receive the messages. I think the best thing to do is create an account to use for these replies and set it as an admin for your application, something like "[email protected]" *Parse the incoming message to detect the sender *Set the account you created as the sender of the reply (it must be one of the admins of the app: you could use your own address, but I think it's better to create one) *Send the mail via the API
