How to change envelope sender address using phpmailer?

Question

With php mail() I can write

mail(\'to@example.com\',\'subject!\',\'body\',\'From: from@example.com\',\'-f from@example.com\');

But how can

Answer 1

The -f flag is set with $email->Sender

This is the Envelope From which allows the email server to evaluate the sender's email address before receiving the rest of your email data

SetFrom - this is what email address the end user will see as the message coming from

AddReplyTo - this is what email address will pop up if they reply to the email

Sender needs to be clean to pass spam filters

SetFrom needs to be clean to pass spam filters

AddReplyTo doesn't really matter. This allows a service to send an email on behalf of a user with an email address not managed by the service.
