Question

I have written a php email script, Message from our Site suppose My~PHP~Script.com is sent to user eg: abc@yahoo~mail.com from eg: def@yahoo~mail.com in a particular format:

---

Subject: def@yahoo~mail.com sent you a message Via My~PHP~Script~

From: noreply@My~PHP~Script.com

Message: Here is the message....

---

Now I want that in Yahoo Mail (or in any other mail) if the person (abc@yahoo~mail.com) clicks on Reply to mail then Yahoo or (other mail sites) should pick up the email from subject (i.e. def@yahoo~mail.com) for replying.

Do I need to send any specific parameters to inform mail sites that at which address user can reply…. How to achieve the desired results…?

Answer 1

There is a Reply-To header available. Just set it to your email and it will be used when the user hits Reply

$recipient = '...';
$subject   = '...';
$message   = '...';

$headers   = "Reply-To: YOUR EMAIL HERE";

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
