Anyone here running qmail/vpopmail behind a COX connection?  I'm having a
problem with bounce messages generated by my server getting through COX's
mail server.  For instance if an outside email is addressed to a
non-existent user at kuhns-la.com, my server generates a bounce with the
"Sorry, no mailbox here by that name." message, this bounce message is then
bounced back to my postmaster by the COX server with a "550 relaying mail to
xxxxxx.yyy is not allowed" message where xxxxxx.yyy is the domain for the
sending user (note, this is just an example - ALL bounce messages are coming
back to postmaster with a 550 from COX).  All other traffic seems to be
going through COX fine.

I'm thinking it's a header issue, possibly return-path since it's blank in
every bounce my server generates but has a value for all other traffic.  

This is an example header from one of the bounces (To address was changed in
example):

Return-Path: <>
Received: (qmail 14933 invoked for bounce); 9 Mar 2004 13:48:50 -0000
Date: 9 Mar 2004 13:48:50 -0000
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: failure notice

What do y'all think - am I on the right track?  And if so, anyone know how
to force qmail/vpopmail to include that return-path header.  I've dug a
little on goggle this morning and didn't turn up anything - granted I'm only
on my first cup of coffee so far so I may have overlooked something obvious.

Thanks,

James
