How to change the sender email address for replies ?
 
#1
0  
I have several mailboxes on the server, like admin/support/webmaster @domain.com
Directly on the server, all incoming mail is moved to the admin@domain.com inbox, so in theBat I only have one account for admin.
The TO: field in the emails remains unchanged, so I can see which email was sent to support or webmaster.

What I want is, in my replies the FROM field to be the same as the TO field in the incoming mail.
So if the email was sent to support@domain.com, my reply to appear as sent from support@domain.com too.
With my current configuration, all replies appear as sent from admin.

Also is it possible to change the sender email for newly created messages (not replies) ?

Thanks

I'm using a similar setup.
What I'm doing is filter all messages to a folder matching its to-address. (Unless the message is filtered because it's from a mailinglist or certain address book entries...)
Every older that is used as destination for one of those addresses has its own folder identity, you can configure that in the folder properties.

Of course it's also possible to use something like %From="%OTo" in your reply templates, but that won't work when you're replying to messages with multiple recipients.

Thanks a lot Roelof !

I have a different folder structure but your reply directed me the right way to look for a solution

I just changed %OTo to %OTOADDR as this inserts just the first address if there are many in the To:
In fact I put a line like
%From="%OTOADDR" %REPLYTO="%OTOADDR"
in the Reply template and it seems to work fine.
This will not work if the first receipient is from another domain, but in fact I don't receive non-spam emails addressed like this.

Thnks
