I tested the account by sending regular emails to a secondary account, sending works perfectly. When replying to a Github issue notification, the message seems to send correctly too (no failure message), but it will never show up on Github.

I can reproduce this problem. I suspect there is some header that nmail is not copying when constructing a reply message. I will need to do some testing and compare headers with Github replies sent from Gmail.

This is a test reply sent using Gmail Web.
Seems it will be sent to a special recipient (
reply+AAF...........@reply.github.com).
Possibly nmail is not respecting "reply-to" headers.
