[MlMt] Customising From or Reply-To based on Smart Mailbox settings

[Michael Nietzold]

I have been with DomainFactory for 25 years, still using the old 
mailboxes (not migrated to Exchange), but I fear they may discontinue 
this service in the future.

Which service provider do you use for your emails that supports a 
“wildcard outbound” function?
