multiple files with a director for a value

[datadan]

I multiple virtual users on courier/postfix.

Each user's preference reside in a directory
../../prefs/user1
../../prefs/user2
....
../../prefs/user2000

user1 file =
Email=User
Name=userfirst userlast
Reply-to=useremail
etc

I have thousands of user preferences in here as individual files. I want to serach all the ../../prefs/user* files for a string containing "Reply-to=xyz".

Grep/cat work when I am searching one file. Can I make them work for searching through a whole directory?

Thanks,

find ../../prefs -print | xargs grep Reply-to=xyz
