Reply-To

The email header that tells mail clients where replies should be sent.

Why it matters

A Reply-To domain that differs from the From domain can be normal, but unexpected mismatches deserve caution.

Example pattern

A message claims to be from billing@example.com but replies go to a free mailbox.
