The Moodle eMailTest plugin is a tool that enables administrators to easily test Moodle's mail system. A trace of the SMTP dialogue will be displayed if the email message cannot be sent for any reason. Version 3.x+ comes with a new diagnostic feature that helps you narrow down the issue and offers potential solutions. This feature makes it easier than ever to identify and resolve any problems with your email system.
Please note that once you’ve sent a test email, you’ll need to check your inbox to confirm that the message was delivered successfully. While this plugin won’t do that for you, it will provide troubleshooting suggestions if the email doesn’t make it to your inbox.

Thanks for sharing this useful tip with the Moodle community. Hope it will help others who use SendGrid.
Currently it is using the no-reply address.
I have setup allowed domains for those email domains our students use and all our students have allow participants of course to see email set.
However when they send an email as mentioned the reply to address is the no-reply one.
When I use the Site administration -> Server -> Email -> eMail Test (This plugin)
The reply to address is the one in the user profile of the sender, the result I want.
However, when I use the Site administration -> Server -> Email -> Outgoing mail configuration
Test outgoing mail configuration
The reply to address is the noreply address, NOT the result I want.
(And this is what happens when a student sends an email from a Forum or Quiz.)
Have you got any insights that may help.
Hope you find it useful.
Best wishes to you all!

There is a request to install plugin Moodle eMail Test (local_mailtest) version 2023102000 from the Moodle plugins directory on this site. However, the plugin installation pre-check failed (reason code: remoteunavailable).
I suspect this might be an issue with the moodle.org/plugins site. This seems to only affect you if you try to install the plugin directly using the Install button on moodle.org/plugins.
What does work? Download the plugin first and then upload (or drag and drop) it to the Install Plugins page, it installs just fine. Hopefully the Moodle HQ devs will be able to address the issue later today.
Best regards,
Michael
