Betreff: Replies going to sender not the reply-to address

[dcwa]

Hey,

According to this Hubspot article: https://blog.hubspot.com/customers/using-the-custom-reply-to-address-in-hubspot If you set-up a custom reply-to address any auto-responses and replies to your email will go to to this custom address.

BUT when I set this up with a dedicated inbox for my reply-to address and hit send on my email, all the auto-responses went to the sender (my) address and not the reply-to.

Has this happened to anyone else? Am I missing something?

Hi @dcwa,

Thanks for reaching out.

As explained in this article, in certain cases with some email providers, automated email replies (e.g. an out-of-office responder) may still go to the original From address.

This seems to be the case for you.  

Take care!

Jess

I've been having the same issue since earier in the summer as well. We used to get zero auto-reponse emails to the sales rep who was "sending" the email. Everything went to our marketing@ address, and we just deleted them all save the occassional "real" reply from a human.

Now 10% or so end up with the sales rep. Has something changed with Hubspot, or has "the greater world" changed enough that this strategy just no longer works from a technical perspective?
