How to reply from original recipient when message was server-forwarded?
On my web hosting, I have forwarders so that:
sub_email1@domain.com -> forwards to -> my_real_private_email@domain.com sub_email2@domain.com -> forwards to -> my_real_private_email@domain.com sub_email3@domain.com -> forwards to -> my_real_private_email@domain.com ...
But when I click "reply", if always replies from my_real_private_email@domain.com, which I don't want. I would like to keep the original recipient email.
In the message headers, everything seems to be ok: To = sub_email@domain.com Delived-To = my_real_private_email@domain.com
I tried the "Reply as original recipient" Addon but it only works on specific cases that I don't really understand, like if there's a "+" symbol in the address: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/reply-as-original-recipient/?src=userprofile
I searched Google, but I cannot find the exact solution.

The issue is does the forwarder leave the original email address in the To: or does it actually change that to the address you are actually receiving it at.
Thanks for the answer friend!
I'm not sure how to verify what you just said..
The forward is made on the server directly, not my email client.
And all I see is in the headers, the "To" is the original email destination and the "Delivered-To" is where the server redirected to.
Confirm: In Thunderbird you only have your real_private_email@domain.com as a mail account. For that same mail account, the Outgoing Server smtp is only using that same real_private_email@domain.com as username.
Have you created any additional identities for that mail account? You can then add additional outgoing servers and assign the correct one to each identity. Info on Identities https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-identities
Oh I see! Thanks for this, I didn't know identities served that purpose. And it's great because I tested and it automatically selects the correct identity when hitting the "reply" button, that's great :)
Is this the only way of doing this, however? I have 74+ different forwarded email addresses to isolate potential spammers. For example instagram@mydomain.com this way if instagram gets hacked I can just disable that address.
This means that creating 74 identities, which will take a while ;)
