email correspondence with students

I am having trouble receiving email  correspondence (both messages and submitted assignments) from students. Messages all come across with the established "No-Reply" address. I was told by our Moodle host:

"I have checked in with the tech team and there is no way to utilize the no-reply address functionality to facilitate reply by email between student and teacher. These notifications go out from a no-reply address because they are system generated. If you reply to one of these the reply goes back to the system, not the user that may be mentioned in the notification." 


This was working in our previous version of Moodle, but when we upgraded to 3.4.3 we stopped getting assignments with the student's email on them so I could just hit "reply" and it would respond to the student. 

Surely there is a way to change this and be able to respond directly to messages from students or to assignments submitted.

If you *own* the domain(s) of the student emails then you can add them the 'allowedemaildomains'.  Don't try to send email on behalf of email domains you don't control as they almost certainly will get blocked. 

Make sure you configure your mail domains (e.g. SPF records) accordingly. 

Read Mail_configuration very carefully. 

Beware acting like a spammer...
