phpmailer: Reply using only "Reply To" address
php, phpmailer
Solution
At least in the current versions of PHPMailers, there's a function clearReplyTos() to empty the reply-to array.
$mail->ClearReplyTos();
$mail->addReplyTo(example@example.com, 'EXAMPLE');
Problem
I'm using phpmailer on my website and to help with spam issues I have created a mailbox to send these emails from (using SMTP). I have set the emails to come from the mailbox address and then I have added a reply to address for where I want the replies to go to: ``` $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tsl'; $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; $mail->Host = EMAIL_HOST; $mail->Port = EMAIL_PORT; $mail->Username = EMAIL_USER; $mail->Password = EMAIL_PASS; $mail->SetFrom('mailbox@email.com', 'Mailbox name'); $mail->AddReplyTo('replyto@email.com', 'Reply to name'); $mail->AddAddress('user@email.com', 'User name); ``` The emails send successfully and seem to get through the spam filters ok, but when I press reply it includes both the mailbox account and the reply to account. Is this what is meant to happen? I only want the reply to address to appear when you press reply. Is this even possible? Edit: Looking at the email headers it seems like the from address is getting included in the reply to field. I have no idea why! ``` Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 11:16:25 +0100 To: User name <user@email.com> From: Mailbox name <mailbox@email.com> Reply-to: Mailbox name <mailbox@email.com>, Reply to name <replyto@email.com Subject: Email subject Message-ID: <54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd@localhost> X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.1 (phpmailer.sourceforge.net) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd" --b1_54c530c0d1f3ff33fc87c4c41c2c9ffd Content-Type: text/plain; charset = "iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ```
