My theory, which I'm pretty
sure is right, is that this problem is showing up only where there is a
bad MX (or similar failure), and the interaction with the remote mail server
never begins. The SMTPFrom (or failto) isn't expanded, and the error
message sent back by ims is sent to the unexpanded address. This
would be why the tests you're running work.
PLEASE don't tell us to handle
failed MX's in ReportPostStatus. Yes, it can be handled there. But
I'd prefer a single, consistent method of handling bounces, and maintaining it
in two places is very error-prone.
Question: if ReportPostStatus is
being used, does an email still get sent to failto? How would one disable
this? This is probably not the method I'll use, but I'm curious anyway.

Tokens not processing.
I just ran a test using the control
file that you sent to the list and a test mail file. The mail was sent
using the latest POST Server to the SMTP Test server that comes with iMS.
Here is the log from the test server:

As you can see, the tokens are
working as they should. Here is the test control file (slightly modified
from the one that you sent)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, here is the mail file that
I used:

You should be able to reproduce my
results using these same files....

it uses the same tokens
