Hello,

I'm not sure what I should do with bounce messages from aliased addresses.

If X is the sender of a message to A what is an alias for B and my MTA can't deliver the message to B for some reason, my MTA creates a bounce messages and sends it to X.

The bounce message contains informations like:
<B> (expanded from <A>): host HostB [IP] said: ....

I, or rather the user, don't want that X can see the address B or other informations, like HostB, it's IP or whatever.

So what is common to do, how did you solve this problem?
(I think I'm not the first with this problem.)
- I can't send it to A/B because there are some problems.
- I can't send it to X because X must not see the alias A > B.
- I'm not going to send it to the postmaster.

I could filter all bounces, extract the address B or the alias A > B and find out this way if it is a bounce for an alias. Then I could send a new bounce to X with less informations. What do you think about this?

Thanks in advance
Philipp
