Just noticed that when you get a notification the reply-to address is do_not_reply@notreply.com, this means that if anyone does reply to the e-mail then it'll get sent to an unknown person on that domain, this could have unwanted consequences! It'd be a lot better to use donotreply@SimSig.co.uk and set all e-mails that go to that address to be deleted.

Sacro, you may a very good point here, however; 1: The domain name "notreply.com" does not appear to exist, as in trying to access it brings up a DNS Error and also looking at the records for the domain name show it is not registered. 2: If anyone replied to that address anyway then I would expect the eMail to be lost in the abyss or they would get an automated reply saying the eMail could not be delivered. But yes, changing it to donotreply@SimSig.co.uk or do_not_reply@SimSig.co.uk or noreply@SimSig.co.uk or no_reply@SimSig.co.uk (even if the eMail address isn't valid) wouldn't be a bad idea.

I have noticed a grammatical error in the emails received from SimSig "replied to to your post on SimSig to" Log in to reply |

Speaking as an Systems Administrator for a major Canadian ISP, please don't use a non-existent address as the reply to. All that does is generate useless additional traffic from non-delivery reports, and can lead to backscatter (http://www.backscatterer.org/?target=backscatter). The correct way to do it is a valid email address that just discards anything sent to it. Log in to reply |
