I was simply trying to "translate" the issues between the two environments, as it were. A per-user email address is what Magnus requested: >>> Based on that, I'm back to saying that the email has to be generated >>> from a valid email address, that can be used for return traffic. >>> Whether it's the users original address or a forum-specific one is a >>> different question, but a blackhole catch-all one just won't do. > I do see a difficulty here; if the forum software is only subscribed with one e-mail address, how is it going to distinguish between a reply-all and a private reply? > Maybe it would help to subscribe it using two or three addresses, so that you can see if both (or at least two out of three) addresses got the reply, or only one?
