Fine. > The problem that came up now is that if one of those recipients sets a > reply message also the senders of mail to the generic address get a > reply. It's not quite clear what you mean. You mean if pat@public sends a message to info@domain, the message goes to joe@domain and sam@domain -- and then if joe replies to the message, his MUA sends a copy to both pat@public and info@domain? > Unfortunatly this confuses the senders and is not intented since some > else of that department is taking care of the messages. If my summary above is correct, this is a problem with the MUA used by joe and sam -- they should be able to configure it to recognize that they are also "info@domain" as well as "joe@domain", etc. > My question is what is the best way to detect a forwarded message > and hinder the reply program to reply to the mail? It's an MUA problem, not an MTA one. Trying to solve an MUA problem at the MTA level is typically messy, inaccurate, unreliable, and generally unsatisfying.
