Thanks Sam - now I understand - now that I see what it looks like I will stick with reply :-) my original thought was that by sending in dsn format I might avoid bounces - but it's not as human readable so I'll stick with the default reply. Thank you again Sam, for the help and the mail system! Cheers, Mitch. To any other readers: I made one more set of revisions... reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2076#section-3.5 I found that Errors-To is "Non-standard, discouraged." Return-Path: seems to be the way to go http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4021#section-2.1.22 notes it should be an address enclosed in <> As this is for autoreplies, I want to do what I can to avoid a bounce war. My maildrop watches for my X-Loop header (and aborts if it's there) just in case the Return-Path isn't respected. After reading, I will change to Return-Path: <nobody@nowhere> If this is wrong I guess I could make the domain the real user name, and ensure every user-domain as a nobody alias to deliver the mail to null. But unless you say that's important ? If that's not required though I think this is it. Here's my current script, called as noted in my earlier summation.
