How can I customize the mail FROM header in our Email Marketing Application , to enable our customers to specify their OWN email ( from their domain ) .

Currently the customer specify his own domain and we use it at the Reply-To mail's header.

CURRENTLY From: [email protected] Reply-To: customer_email@customer_domain.com Return-Path: [email protected]

WHAT WE NEED From: customer_email@customer_domain.com Reply-To: customer_email@customer_domain.com Return-Path: [email protected]

We do it this way to avoid getting blacklisted because Mail Servers like Gmail or Hotmail would considers it as a MAIL'S HEADER FORGERY ATTEMPT.

But our customers keeps asking us to make the FROM HEADER customizable.

Can someone help us ?
