The discussion revolves around whether it’s possible to allow replies to the noreply@mydomain.com address and potential issues with spam. eextra wonders about the feasibility and potential drawbacks, while pfaffman suggests enabling reply by email and references a guide on meta discourse.
eextra shares their experience trying to reply to noreply@mytestdomain.com and receiving a bounce message from MAILER-DAEMON@staff.contactoffice.com, expressing concerns about the origin of the message. pfaffman explains that the issue depends on the MX record for the domain.
eextra reveals their current MX record setup and seeks clarification on whether to set additional MX records in AWS SES settings when using the guide to enable direct delivery of incoming mail.
whether it is possible to set the possibility of answering the noreply@mydomain.com adress ?
Is there a point?
Is it better to leave it as it is?
I suppose a lot of people can contact this way so why not allow it? Or maybe it’s not recommended for fear of spam etc ??
Do you want to enable reply by email? Maybe have a look at Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (in reply to RCPT TO

Is there any reason to be concerned? Is bounce set correctly?
and so basically why does such a feedback come from staff.contactoffice.com?
Why is it from this address?
Why does it look like this? and who is wilbur.contactoffice.com. ??
I didn’t set it anywhere ? does it is aws automaton setting or how ?
It depends on what the MX record for your domain points.
I’ve got one MX record set up so far.
inbound-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com.
