you can add any header to the email you want, by using “header”.

check out

[http://caboo.se/doc/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html](http://caboo.se/doc/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html)

you can do something like the below. i’d make sure though, that the  
header you determine will go along with the conventional header (i  
belive it is Reply-to and not reply\_to).

class Notifier \< ActionMailer::Base  
def signup\_notification(recipient)  
recipients recipient.email\_address\_with\_name  
from “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”  
subject “New account information”  
body :account =\> recipient

```
 headers 'Reply-to' => 'removed_email_address@domain.invalid'

```

end  
end

HTH …
