How these dynamic looking emails works? what the role of this + symbol in the email addresses.
As it seems it's not a real email inbox who receives these emails.
My thinking is these will go to "support@somedomain.com" as I read it somewhere. but what's the point then. I mostly see this where you open some support ticket or thread and you can directly reply to the email you receive and you email reply is added to the thread/ticket..
But I still don't get how this works behind the scene.
I am looking to implement something similar in my application where a user can reply to the email ( I am not sure what I should be putting for the reply address when I send original mail) we sent and then I want to catch the reply or read it somehow in my script so that I can save it as a comment to the thread.
I use sendmail to send the emails and currently from address is set to 'support@somedomain.com'.. somedomain.com is purchased from bluehost and it's mx records are set to that of provided by google apps..
and I have no idea what's the next step for me.
