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 emails from a specific email address (call it
[email protected]). Our Exchange admins have created an account on the Exchange box so that we can log in and send from that address. Our Exchange server is spoofing that address / domain. This works fine.
Unfortunately the emails sent from
[email protected] are not bouncing
back to us. They are presumably bouncing
back to the contact account at clientcompany.com (which may or may not exist).
I've inserted a header
[email protected] with the assumption that this field determines where bouncebacks are sent. Other documents indicate that this field should never be populated by the originating SMTP system. Other websites again talk about a field called Errors-To which is apparently non-standard.
So - which field is the correct one, and what does it depend on?
Any ideas why my Return-Path is not working?
I'd really like
to get Exchange
to correctly bounce a message addressed
to an invalid server!
update:
Continuing
to dig, and my Return-Path work was only adding an extended property at the end of the header block, but Exchange appears
to be still adding its own Return-Path value at the top.
Delivered-To:
[email protected]
Received: by 1.1.1.1 with SMTP ...
Return-Path: <
[email protected]>
Received: from ... ...
...
Subject: Test
Message-ID: ...
Return-Path:
[email protected]
According
to the Microsoft.com, I cannot set the Return-Path as it is determined by the MAIL FROM - which seems consistent with what I've previously read. But now I'm stuck - how do I change this MAIL FROM value programmatically within Exchange 2007?
