I appologize in advance… rather than answering your question , I will ask another. (Who knows, maybe this will get more action on your post anyway.)
When people register and post on your blog, do you think they are signing up with the expectation they will receive all that reply email, including all the junky bounce notifications and all that? Just that issue should give you pause… when they get delivery problem notices, you are unintentionally distributing email addresses of some users to other users. I think the whole idea is pretty frought, and will even move nice juicy conversations off of your blog site into priivate emails, what good does that do your site?
–EDIT:– Just realized you may be saying you have a group of authors, and each should handle their own post-related stuff. I was thinking you were talking about COMMENTS and the authors of the comments, not posts. If not, sorry.
If YOU don’t want to receive the replies, then you should find a way to change the “from” address on the notices to a “no-reply” address.
// Release 1.2.27.1
// 30.12.08
change1: add option post_notification_max_exe
reason : default max_execution_time is 30 seconds at most server site,
it’s too short,will caulse query sql be executed too much times
For perfmonce ,give you a chance to add the max_execution_time to greater number termporily;
change2: In sendmail.php->post_notification_create_email()
find “$subject = get_option(‘post_notification_subject’);”
add new line: $subject = str_replace(‘@@author’, $post_author, $subject);
reason : add author in Email Subject
change3: Add choice to blog Admin, who can make the “reply to” to Post’s Author’s Email
Admin Should set Sender-Email: as @@author_email
detail : In sendmail.php->post_notification_create_email()
Add $header = str_replace(‘@@author_email’,$post_author_email,$header);
