Specifying the bounce-back address for email

Question

I\'m having a problem getting emails to bounce to a specific email address, different to the From address.

A particular client requires that we send ema

Answer 1

If a human is replying to the e-mail, and not an automated response, you may want to try using the header "Reply-To:" instead of "Return-Path:". (For example: "Reply-To: kirk.broadhurst@mycompany.com")

Answer 2

Out of luck ;) The sender is where bounces end up. The client should create the mailbox and forward it to your internal bounce mailbox. Only clear solution.

Answer 3

You might want to check if the header is correctly set. Check the headers of your email and look for:

Return-Path: kirk.broadhurst@mycompany.com

Return-Path is the correct field according to RFC (IIRC) but not all Mail Servers implement that correctly.
