I've not done any testing, but I HATE them personally. I think it was Twilo that I spotted recently had a really nice 'from' email address, I think it was direct to an engineer or similar. Made me feel like I could reach out when/if I had questions.

I really don't see any reason to ever use a 'no-reply', and not a monitored email address.

This was my thoughts. As a customer it feels like you don't care about me and just want to, usually, advertise your new services to me.

Even if the email reply went to a "call centre" of some description I think it would present a better image than "we don't care about what you think, just give us money".

Indeed - the most confusing for me are those that have a 'no reply' but then contain email addresses in the body of the email - yahoo do that for their groups.

There was a good article on no-replies on HN a while back, but I can't seem to find it.

Excellent, thanks!
