When I receive a report on a post, it lists the user's name in the From field, but when I do a reply, it's using one of my addresses ( the admin one ), so I am not able to send a reply.

Why does the report not have the user's email as the reply email address?

This question was asked yesterday, but heres my answer again.

The reason for this is if the user has not entered an email address, or if the email address is not in a valid format, or if the hosts SMTP server doesn't relay emails that have a non local from address, then the email will fail to arrive.

By using the forums main email address as the from address at least the report will arrive.
