I have found the answer to this  and it is annoyingly frustratingly simple   Basically the reply to addresses needed to be added before the from address as such    mail- gt addReplyTo  replyto email com    Reply to name     mail- gt SetFrom  mailbox email com    Mailbox name      Looking at the phpmailer code in more detail this is the offending line   public function SetFrom  address   name       auto 1        address   trim  address       name   trim preg replace     r n           name      Strip breaks and trim    if   self  ValidateAddress  address           this- gt SetError  this- gt Lang  invalid address          address        if   this- gt exceptions           throw new phpmailerException  this- gt Lang  invalid address         address               echo  this- gt Lang  invalid address         address       return false           this- gt From    address      this- gt FromName    name     if   auto          if  empty  this- gt ReplyTo               this- gt AddAnAddress  ReplyTo    address   name                 if  empty  this- gt Sender               this- gt Sender    address                  return true      Specifically this line   if  empty  this- gt ReplyTo         this- gt AddAnAddress  ReplyTo    address   name       Thanks for your help everyone
