This question has probably been asked before, but here goes. I recieved a
double-bounce message in my mailbox today. Someone had tried to send a message to a
bad address
within my domain. When my qmail box tried to bounce it back to the sender, the remote
server said "501 bogus mail from". Is there anyway to change the Return-Path of my
bounce messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Included below is the bounce portion of
the message.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.nsc-support.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
