This is a simple little hack to fix a simple little problem.

What it does: Every board has users who reply to Private Messages via email. (I have done it myself) Because the board is configured to use the contact email address as the "from" field in the private message notifications, administrators receive those accidental replies.

This hack allows you to set up a different email address in the General Display settings of the control panel. (NOTE: This hack won't work for everyone. Use it ONLY if you have more than one email address from your domain). Then, an autoresponder can be set up to handle replies to this email address.

No demo is included because this is a control panel hack.
