If not, you will have a problem getting this mail system to work reliably. If someone enters their e-mail address incorrectly the mail will not reach the intended targets.

(barring mail server failures, of course)... And by adding the "Reply-To" header, the reciepients of the message can still reply to the person making the inquiry by just hitting "reply" in their e-mail client.
