By default, if you hit reply on a forwarded email, the reply goes out from your real email address — not your alias. That defeats the purpose if you're trying to keep your real address private.
Enabling Can Reply on a destination fixes this. When it's on, AliasFleet intercepts your reply and re-sends it so the recipient sees your alias address as the sender.
Enabling Can Reply
Go to Destinations. Find the destination you want to enable this on and toggle Can Reply to on.
The destination must be verified first. If the toggle is greyed out, check the verification status.
How to reply
Once enabled, just reply normally from your inbox. AliasFleet handles the routing automatically. You don't need to do anything differently.
The reply arrives to the original sender showing your alias as the from address. Your real email stays hidden.
Which alias does the reply come from?
The reply is sent from whichever alias the original email was forwarded through. AliasFleet tracks this in the email headers, so it knows which alias to use for the reply.
Permission mode interaction
If the alias's permission mode is set to Strict, only the destination the alias is directly assigned to can reply through it. Other destinations on your account are blocked from using that alias for replies even if they have Can Reply enabled.
If it's set to Open, any destination with Can Reply enabled can reply through that alias. See Alias permission mode for more detail.
Replies going out from the wrong address?
If your replies aren't going through the alias, check:
- Can Reply is toggled on for the destination you're replying from
- The alias's permission mode isn't blocking this destination
- You're replying to the forwarded email, not a separate compose window
