Why are replies being sent to the 'from' address instead of the 'reply-to' address??

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have an email campaign set up where I have a different email address as the 'from' but I want replies to go to a seperate mailbox - which I have put as the 'reply-to' address. However all of the automated OOO responses and some direct replies have been sent to the 'from' address.

Any ideas on how I can change this?

Thanks

Hello Liz,

Unfortunately this is an equation with many variables.  See these two articles that give an explanation of how this works in detail.

Unfortunately Out of Offices, etc are set on the email client side and each client decides on whether to use the Reply or From to address for replies.

+1! Usually automated replies go to the from, and human responses go to the reply-to. This is helpful if you don't want to get inundated with out of office responses.
