noreply@ email accounts

I am sure at one time or another we have all gotten email from a company that is from a noreply web address that is not monitored.

What I was wondering is, does anyone know how to set one up, to where you can send an email from it, but it wont receive emails?

Thanks.
 
just set noreply@ as the reply to address

a lot of scripts that send emails dont require a smtp account even so you could just set it and it work.

Well that is what I am currently trying to figure out, what scripts I can use for it.

Right now I either send out email from outlook or my forum, but either way if they click reply it will come to me.
 
Code:
<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'You received an email message!';
$message = 'This is a message in the email body form.';
$headers = 'From: noreply@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: noreply@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

This will send an email with the subject "You just received an email message!" body: "This is a message in the email body form."

From: noreply@example.com

It's quite simple to do :)

Well just by doing that, they could easily reply to it, and I would get it, and then just not reply to it lol.

Which can be done, but I just thought that there was some program or something that did this, because I know a lot of companies will mass email people all the time with noreply email addresses
 
Then I am confused again. I realized noreply address wouldnt exisit, but how would you send an email from an address like that.
 
It is using php sendmail thus it does not require a login. If you really wanted to you could use that script to send an email to someone from @microsoft.com or @apple.com [not advisable tho]

So in reality that script is sending out the emails from a non existent address. Kind of like sending a letter to someone via the post office with a return address to a empty piece of property. The letter still gets to them but if they try and send it back there is nothing there to send it to.

How can I set up php sendmail? I have two guys who could help me if it is to confusing for me (not all that technilogically advanced).
 
You could simply write a form in HTML, and have it submit data to a PHP mail script (similar to what stuffradio posted) for mailing. Probably the easiest way out.
