Xoxy.net morphs to spamgourmet.com

How come when I reply to an email sent to @xoxy.net, the recipient receives my reply as coming from @spamgourmet.com?

I've received several puzzled questions from correspondents asking how I managed to "change" my domain in the middle of a thread!

TIA!

Do you have Return Address Masking turned on under Advanced options?

Can you (any of you!) try it yourself?

Just send an email to one of your spamgourmet addresses (that uses a xoxy.net domain), and reply to it. Now (in your normal role of masked emailer) reply to your "correspondent". When your correspondent (you, in this case) get's it, it will be spamgourmet.com, NOT xoxy.net

As it stands it looks like the only way to keep the xoxy.net domain in emails is to NOT reply but rather send a new message each time (fortunately possible due to the nifty address-generation tool), copying over the previous dialogue - a suboptimal solution. Is this a bug, or just a feature that has yet to be implemented? ;-)

Thanks for your help!

Well, heck. It just doesn't work that way for me. At the first reply, it changes xoxy.net to spamgourmet.com!

It makes it hard to use these addresses for mailing lists!

Can anyone help? :cry:

how old is the address you're using? Have you tried it with a new one?
