I think for things where feedback is warranted, sure.
But for automated email sending, alerts, notifications, things which may have very high bounce rates, using a real mailbox is basically spamming yourself or your support team.
I tend to use 'automated@' or 'a.robot@' though, to reflect that it was sent on behave of a process.
- capnrefsmmat 15y agoYour reply-to address doesn't have to be the same as the envelope-from on the message, so intentional replies can go to a different address than SMTP bounces. You don't have to spam yourself.
- nodata 15y agoBut you won't know whether feedback is warranted. You don't get to decide - the user does. As an example, yesterday I got an e-mail where a template variable hadn't been expanded. noreply means they don't get to find out. It's worth my time replying to an e-mail. It's not worth finding a contact form and filling it out.
