#WhatIf: Funny sender names in emails. #ask-ih

Hey folk, so I'm currently working on sending transactional emails for PropertyPost.lk

I've been thinking.

What if, I were to have randomly generated sender names in the emails?

See, I want PropertyPost to be very interactive with every single user, and include a bit of humor

    test to make sure it won't trigger some grumpy spam detection system somewhere

      Couldn't agree more.

      This was originally my concern since a lot of spam comes with the same email but randomly generated from names.

      However, since it's transactional emails, with nicely engineered personalization, I'm hoping I'll be able keep Mr. Grumpy doped (I mean duped).

        Quick random thought: for more fun email customization ideas, look online for sample emails from CD Baby and betterworldbooks.com

    Nice idea. Just add a proper reply-to header and I guess you're fine.

      Yeah definitely; Thank you! Issue is, I'm using SendGrid, so I can set a fromname, but I can't have a different reply to name. Wondering how to get around this.
