the Return-Path no longer gets added, has the code changed? I've tried turning backscatter on but that doesn't seem to suppress these messages (possibly because they are local until maildrop CCs them?). What should be happening here? Thanks for any clues,
The problem is that the original envelope sender is not available to maildrop any more, at this time.
I am leaning towards using a null return path for forwarded mail. If the forwarded mail bounces, it'll get lost forever, but I guess if you set up mail forwarding, and it doesn't work, it's on your head.
The following patch to maildrop should force a null sender for forwarded mail. Haven't really tested it, but it's a no-brainer.
