And as a note, the preferred headers to set by servers with the envelope to and from addresses are:

I don't think - imail makes any use of the - Return-Path: header. - - I think it'd be bad practice to set the Return-Path: header - when received if not present. The from header would be used - if there is no - Return-Path: header. - - It should be the client who sets the Return-Path: header, just as the - Reply-to: header. Servers shouldn't mess with it as it is - also optional. - - -- - Regards, - - Terrence Koeman - - Technical Director/Administrator - MediaMonks B.V.
