Question

Am using gmail smtp to send email messages and it works fine. The only problem is that I want receipients of the email to reply to a different email address. In other words I send them an email as from [e-mail] but when they click reply the message should be replied to [e-mail] or [e-mail]. How can I accomplish this please.

In my settings.py I have:

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[e-mail]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
EMAIL_PORT = 587

In my views.py I have:

email = EmailMessage(
            subject='Registration Successful',
            body=msg,
            from_email='My Name <[e-mail]>',
            to='[e-mail]')
        email.send()

This works but the recipient replies to [e-mail]. I want the recipient to reply to [e-mail]. Please What do I need to do to this code.

Answer 1

Try adding a Reply-To header to the email:

email = EmailMessage(
            subject='Registration Successful',
            body=msg,
            from_email='My Name <[e-mail]>',
            to='[e-mail]',
            headers={'Reply-To': '[e-mail]'})
email.send()
