That shouldn't be necessary -- it's the return-path which is important. Nothing should *ever* send an autoresponse anywhere but the return-path. However, it's possible that something in the system you describe is broken, and is sending an autoresponse or a bounce to the From: address instead of to the return-path. Find *that* and fix it, rather than mangling the From: address to be empty. -- dwmw2 -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
