is rumored to have said:
As I manage my own domain name I'm able to make-up mail addresses to
match the group or organisation I'm dealing with whenever I'm asked
to provide one.
That works perfectly for receiving mail. However, when I reply to
mail the FROM field is postmaster@ rather than my whatever_lol@
not-an-email address.
I'd really like to have some way of auto populating the From or the
Reply-to field without having to remember to use the Customise
option.
Are there any hidden tricks in Mailmate that I can leverage to
achieve this?
Not sure if it's enough, but if there's a pattern to the addresses you
use, and you know how to write "regular expression" patterns, use the
"Address Pattern" field of the Edit Account dialog box to cover the
addresses that *might* end up in a To header.
It will NOT work by itself with mailing lists, which put their own
address into the To header. For that, you need to make your mail
server add an "X-Original-To" header with the original envelope
recipient address that was eventually dropped into the postmaster box.
for example, all the mail in my MailMate List mailbox has this:
X-Original-To: [email protected]
And MailMate automatically used that address when I started this
reply.
Very good. I'll take the suggestion and put a little more effort into
setup on the server side.
thanks,
Malcolm
