I've been looking for documentation on the standard behaviour for mail servers who fail to deliver their mail.

I want the 'From' field to be different from the account that receives emails when there is a delivery failure.

E.g.

My program sends an email from '[email protected]', and on failure to deliver I want to be sent the delivery failure bounceback at '[email protected]'.

Is this accomplished by setting the reply-to? Or should I login with the 'failedemails' account and therefore it will receive the email back?

Thanks.
