Hi ,

Could some one help me to understand why the reply to email address was overwritten by the sender email address?

Don't understand what you mean by "overwritten."

The MAIL FROM (a.k.a. SMTP envelope sender) and From/Reply-To: headers serve different functions. Please explain your concern in more detail.

we had two different email addresse

from email address: mkto@xyz.com

reply to email address: abc@xyz.com

When the email was sent to the target, We found they have received the email with mkto@xyz.com as the reply to address. However the marketo email still had the abc@xyz.com in reply to address.

Wondering why this happens?

You'd have to post the full headers of the received email together with a screenshot of the email headers set in the Marketo Email Editor.

A static string in the Reply-To: box should be the Reply-To: in the email that is actually sent out.

But you should definitely not use the expression "sender" here, when what you mean is "From:".  "Sender" is something different.
