Setting up a no-reply email address with Google Apps

I have my domain's email set up with Google Apps, and I am interested in sending automated emails (when users register, for example) with the From and/or Reply-To field being "no-reply@example.com". I have a few questions pertaining to how this is done:

  1. Should I actually set up a user in Google Apps named "no-reply"?

  2. If not setting up a "no-reply" user, should I log in with a real address (e.g.: "support@example.com") and send the email as being from "no-reply@example.com" instead? Or should I simply use the Reply-To email header?

  3. If it's necessary to use the Reply-To header, is there a way to block the true From address (i.e.: the username I used to log into Google's SMTP server)?

You should create a noreply user. But use it as a spam mail (when registering unknown sites) and a mail for testing.
