Bill,
Pretty sure in the past the only way to do this was with PMDF. Not sure if PMDF is
available with a hobbyist licence or will run on 5.x

VMS MAIL has no concept of reply-to headers. If a "foreign mail protocol"
is being used from within VMS MAIL (in%, pmdf%, mx%, or smtp% for example),
that protocol may provide a way of setting a reply-to header, typically by
defining a specified logical name before running VMS MAIL.
If PMDF is installed, you can use
$ PMDF MAIL /REPLY_TO=address
and possibly other methods to set the reply-to address. PMDF MAIL is
designed to be upwardly compatible with VMS MAIL and uses the same mailbox
files as VMS MAIL.
There is a hobbyist license available for PMDF but I don't know if this covers
versions that will run on VMS 5.x or not.
Installing PMDF also makes the in% (or pmdf%) foreign mail protocol usable

Subject: setting reply to in VMS 5.x MAIL
Is there a way to set the reply-to value in VMS 5 mail? I want to send mail as
SYSTEM but anyone who receives the message on the outside world who
wants to reply I'd like it go to to a different email address.
I am working to solve the problem myself, but if anyone knows already and
can help save me the time :-)
Thanks
Bill
from VMS MAIL. mx% is provided by Hunter Goatley's
MX MAIL package and smtp%
is provided by Process Software's Multinet SMTP client
to add SMTP capability
to VMS MAIL.
