User Story

I want to be able to set the email "Reply-To" header in my dotCMS form notification messages to use the user-submitted email address from the form. Something like this

From: dotcms-server@my-domain.com
To: me@my-domain.com
Reply-To: whoever-submitted-the-form@gmail.com
Subject: Dotcms contact form submission from whoever-submitted-the-form@gmail.com

So I can just hit "Reply" on received notification emails.

We should be able to add multiple, arbitrary, email headers - Reply-To is just a compelling example.

Before DKIM and other email security restrictions were in use, it was common to use the email address received on a web form submission as the "From" address on the notification email. This is no longer possible, so setting the Reply-To header is a common tactic.

Acceptance Criteria

Users can add arbitrary email headers using $mailer.sendEmail(), Workflow notifications, and any other mechanism I may not be aware of.

Users can use received form data as header values.

Hi @fmontes, I think this issue needs to be looked at with new priority as it is a blocker for customer DB and high on the CX Priority list. Is this something that can be worked on in the next sprint or two? Thank you.

Educated guess of estimation one week. To take into account for priorization. cc: @mboutillette-dotcms
