Hello, a little bit off topic - but maybe someone can comment this...
We are running a website where users can register themself, use features like "send this page to a friend" etc. Those features make the web application send an email to a user. The from addresses (envelope FROM and header From:) are set to an existing email address (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). It happens very very often that users enter an invalid email address or just senseless texts. So the webmaster-address receives all the backscatter from undeliverable mail. Now I want to change the envelope FROM (and the header From) address to a non-existing address (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and set the Reply-To-Header to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The idea behind this: the backscatter caused by undeliverable mail will go to /dev/null, while all regular replies to one of those auto-generated emails will reach the webmaster. Is this the "state-of-the-art" way to solve this? Or are there any other, better solutions? [Using captchas or similar does not really solve the problem, because even really existing human beings often enter senseless stuff like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;-)] Thanks Best regards -stefan-
