Errors-to: isn't right anyway. The SMTP envelope is the correct way with the MAIL FROM: address, and those broken system ignore it. Trying to kludge new options that will be ignored by those broken system, and correctly working systems won't be setup for it. Dont' penalize systems that work. You want to do something, complain the the site that sends you the bounce or OOO message. Not just to the person, but to the postmaster too. That's the only way to get it fixed. That's who I complain to when I get them. > >-- >Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ >http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| >mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
