I did not imply that you host a mailing list. Instead I pointed that you may want to learn about how mailing lists handle sending out massive quantities of email regularly, and handle bounce-back reports automagically, which mailing list servers like Mailman do. > The taxpayers' e-mail addresses are not being hosted by the BIR.

Do you really want the regional and/or district offices to handle bounce back reports? If you do then you do not need to set different Sender and Errors-To headers and really just send everything as [EMAIL PROTECTED] What you will have to do is have a script handle every message that gets into [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that based on the sender they are either routed to the correct office email address or sent to an overall administrator or to /dev/null (think: spam). > It should be intelligently identified to which BIR Regional/District > Office does the e-mail belongs because of their TIN. Write a program (in your language of preference) that will parse every message it gets, finding out who the sender is. It will then look this up in your database to map it with a TIN, and then map it with a BIR office in charge. Then forward this to that BIR office's email address. Alternatively you could set the Reply-To header of your email messages to the BIR office's email address based on the recipient. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc.
