James does bounce back to the envelope sender (indirectly, using the Return-path header, not mail.getSender()), but with a NOT null reverse path. So the problem is that the bounce may bounce back. I.e. the bounce should be sent with MAIL FROM: <>
As I see currently it is sent with MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (for example, this is the default). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Angus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 4:46 PM Subject: RE: Bounce, outgoing reverse path and fromAddress > > > > Let assume that the other mail server is also a James server.
