RFC 1123 (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1123.html)
"IMPLEMENTATION: The MAIL FROM: information may be passed as a parameter or in a Return-Path: line inserted at the beginning of the message." >> Allthough I don't see how the last server should acquire the address for the return-path: << Well - it seems to me as if the last server has responsibility to report back to the relaying server that it was contacted from? So taking it from the MAIL FROM makes sense. That's the SAME information the SMTP server would use, if it needs to send a bounce message, such as "Mailbox Full". >> if it i desired that this address is different than the Envelope from or the From: header. << But isn't the Envelope FROM supposed to be the "return path". If we already have a header FROM: and header "REPLY-TO" for client replies, and the Envelop FROM for server replies - why do we need a forth?
