      1. Go to Account Settings
      2. Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match
      3. Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (*), for example *@yourdomain.com
      4. Close/confirm all your changes
      5. Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
      6. The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.
