Hi there,
A customer of mine is, unfortunately, using BT Internet as her ISP,
and sending email via Postfix on Mac OS 10.4
It seems that she is not getting notification when mail is bounced
because this lame ISP rejects the "from" address of the bounce, and
another bounce is created. See the 946CA27AABB message below:

required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a
simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication). For advice

I'll start poking at the SMTP authentication part in a moment, but
leaving that (message E7B8B27AAB6) aside completely, can anyone tell
me, please, how to change the from address of the bounce messages,
please? At least if she has notification of the failures she knows to
call me & I can take a look at the problem; as things stand she just
discovers after some days that the recipient has received no mail
from her.
Cheers,
Stroller.
