I have not followed the details of this thread, but, for a message delivered over SMTP, you can change the return path *either* by an errors_to setting on a router *or* on a return_path on a transport. Section 44.3 chooses to describe the latter way of doing it. Why the two methods? Well, errors_to allows you to change this field for all cases - whatever happens to the address aftewards (be it redirected, delivered locally, or delivered remotely), whereas return_path allows you to change this field for just those deliveries that go out through the one particular transport. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
