Sendmail reply-to null
When our application sends an email on a solaris 5.8 system it sends it with the reply to address user@domain.com.
When our users recieve the file and reply-to or reply-to-all... the system recieves that mail message and we want to stop that...
Is there an option setting so we can set the reply-to so when the mailhost automatically drops the return message?
using a mailx and a javamail.api command through sendmail

does this get set in the /home/.mailrc?
I am more concerned with how mailx will handle this.

So when you say your "application sends an email", you are really referring to mailx? If so, do
mailx -r devnull@domain.com .........
mailx -r devnull@domain.com .........

This changes the from address to the devnull... how do I keep the user id as the from?

Good MUA's will use
X-Reply-To header, eg:
X-Reply-To: devnull@domain.com
where devnull is a alias
devnull: /dev/null
ie: throw the mail to the bit bucket.
