The below is just my gut feeling, and I could be very wrong! What do you think is best.
I think the most important thing right now is: 1) Get the bounced message sent to the sender with the original subject and a list of the failed email addresses in the message body. Nice haves (which I think should be in place in a full release) would be: 2) Include the reason for the failure, i.e. the stuff you mention below 3) The original message attached to the bounce mail I think we can leave 3) for now... If you like we can split 1) and 2) between us, or you can have it all and I can do something else. Regarding 1) I thought the format should be to send a message with an 'empty' From header to the address in the From header of the original mail, probably with a subject (so that the sender knows which email we are talking about along with the address(es) that failed. As far as I can tell this empty From header is defined by (I think it was) RFC 2821 and RFC 1123. I might remember wrong though, as looking at a few bounced emails in my inbox I have seen the headers look like: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) Return-Path: <> <rest of headers here> AND From: CompuServe Postmaster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Undeliverable Message Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <rest of headers here> AND Return-Path: Subject: Undeliverable:From dev to receivers From: "System Administrator" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <rest of headers here> AND From: Systemadministrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Unzustellbar: RE: Software AG Receipt Acknowledgement for Return-Path: <> <rest of headers here> They all have the From header set, but most have the Return-Path header empty, so not sure what is correct. Whoever does 1) will need to look at this in the specs to make sure we do the right thing.
