How do I make an email address a "No Reply"
 
How can I set up an email address that will send files, but make it a "No Reply" email address?

 
Make an account like usual but mung the FROM and REPLY TO addresses. Mung=Make them something like noreply@noaccount.com

Someone is going to pop in here and tell you that is a bad thing to do. What you should REALLY do if you control your own mail account is create a real account and have it move all replies to a blackhole as in delete them automatically
 
There's no need to create an extra account for something like that, you set the From header to whatever you like and it would be best to leave the Reply-To empty.
One thing though.
It's against the technical specifications of the net to use a From address that you don't own. There are providers that ban you from their customer base for that. Those specs date from before the war against spam, but since that's going on those rules are enforced more than before.
Therefore the use of a noreply@something_domain should only be used when you own that specific address at that domain or when you own the domain itself, so you can garantuee that nobody else will own that address as long as you're using it.
