5th = the From email address. If not specified, or specified as a null (''), the default address for the bbs will be used.

6th = any additional headers you'd like to define. This is where we'll define the Reply-to header.

In my vB 3.8.7 vbmail() is called three times in sendmessage.php.

1. First time is for ContactUs mails. I don't currently have any trouble with these, probably because MY server isn't making DMARC/Sender-ID checks on incoming mail. Or maybe it's just that, even though it has the sender's email shown as From, in reality it is going from and to the same server (??).
   
   Find:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($destemail, $subject, $message, false, $vbulletin->GPC['email'], '', $name); 

   Replace with:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($destemail, $subject, $message, false, '', "Reply-to:{$vbulletin->GPC['email']}\n", $name); 

2. Second is for Send-A-Link-to-Friends mails. These now go thru okay because they show as coming from my admin email address. But would be MUCH better if they also included a Reply-to header so the recipient could reply to the real sender directly, instead of replies coming back to me.
   
   Find:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($vbulletin->GPC['sendtoemail'], $vbulletin->GPC['emailsubject'], $message); 

   Replace with:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($vbulletin->GPC['sendtoemail'], $vbulletin->GPC['emailsubject'], $message,'','',"Reply-to:{$vbulletin->userinfo['email']}\n"); 

3. Third is for Email-to-another-bbs-user mails. These are the ones currently giving me fits.
   
   Find:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($userinfo['email'], fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['emailsubject']), $message , false, $vbulletin->userinfo['email'], '', $vbulletin->userinfo['username']); 

   Replace with:
   PHP Code:

   vbmail($userinfo['email'], fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['emailsubject']), $message , false, '', "Reply-to:{$vbulletin->userinfo['email']}\n", $vbulletin->userinfo['username']); 


Would be great if we could get 1 and 3 added to the core in vB 4.2.3 Beta 4
