When you Reply to a message, the Reply To address specified by the Sender is used (cf. OE Tools > Accounts > Mail > [mail account] > Properties > General > Reply address).
Try manually replacing the automatically-populated Reply To address with one you know is good.

a large newspaper printers in America, and even mail sent to the
webmaster there comes back.
