I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but dbmail doesn't
seem to generate bounces correctly. I don't generate bounces within
dbmail so I've never noticed this.
Here is a bounce I got from a dbmail user in response to a message sent
to the dbmail list.
It does a few things wrong. The envelope sender is not <> as it should
be, and the message is sent to the address in the From header rather
than the envelope sender.
How does dbmail determine the sender of a message that a bounce must be
sent to? It doesn't look like the MTA of the user in question adds a
header with the envelope sender, but Errors-To and Sender would be
better choices than From.
