I've checked the CF docs and there is no such support for what you describe in MX. I don't have 5.0 docs handy. What am I missing? fyi cfparaming in a message-id is another good idea alongside reply-to. Both help keep some anti-spam systems (like Declude) from flagging the message fo poor formatting. <cfmailparam name="Message-ID" value="<#CreateUUID()#@#attributes.EmailServer#>"> --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson, MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com - Retail http://foohbar.org - ColdFusion Tools --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "samcfug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Sat, 16 Nov 2002 21:09:30 -0600 >I imagine you can pass just about any variable you want to, however, it >might be smart to try in some way to validate that the reply to is a >valid email address or to discard the email completely. > >One of the advantages I discovered using the REPLYTO is that when the >addressee had a vacation reply or auto-responder set up, it will not go >into a mail loop.
