This is probably OT for this forum, but I couldn't figure out a more appropriate forum to post this question to.
A project I'm working on sends a "new sign-up" email alert to my client - since the intent of this email is simply an alert (not something to be responded to) I was wondering what to put in the "reply to" field when I remembered some sites do have this "noreply@somedomain.com".
Does "noreply@" actually do anything? I've tried this via my testing platform and when I receive a test email via Outlook (with the noreply@domain.com in the reply to area), I can hit the reply button and a reply message does come up.
Is "noreply@" simply a visual alert to the person who got the email that if they do hit the reply button, the email won't go anywhere?

It is used as an extra reminder to people mostly, I've set them up in the past so any email received for the noreply account just gets deleted.
Thanks for the reply. I've already set up an alias on my client's hosting account which will delete any noreply emails coming in to the server. appreciate (as always) your help and insight.
