Ok, i just stripped out any extra headers (so i'm just setting to, from, subject, and body) and then sent a mail with the from field set to my yahoo email and the from field set to my gmail email. Changing the addresses to protect the innocent, let's say that i set it up as follows: >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: "Hello dummy" >> Body: "Hello dummy\n" So, i sent that out, recieved it in gmail and inspected it, to see the following: >> Delivered-To: [email protected] >> Received: by 10.52.156.164 with SMTP id wf4cs20192vdb; >> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:29:27 -0700 (PDT) >> Received: by 10.227.163.133 with SMTP id a5mr3664403wby.73.1301315366670; >> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:29:26 -0700 (PDT) >> Return-Path: <[email protected]> >> Received: from uk1w2c0067.eechost.net (uk1w2c0067.eechost.net >> [217.69.46.42]) >> by mx.google.com with ESMTP id >> u2si6545764wbd.60.2011.03.28.05.29.26; >> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:29:26 -0700 (PDT) >> Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 217.69.46.42 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of [email protected]) client-ip=217.69.46.42; >> Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 217.69.46.42 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of [email protected]) [email protected] >> Received: from ec2 ([75.101.135.251]) by uk1w2c0067.eechost.net with >> Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.4675); >> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:30:03 +0100 >> Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=ir.charanga.com) >> by ec2 with esmtp (Exim 4.63) >> (envelope-from <[email protected]>) >> id 1Q4BZV-00032m-Fq >> for [email protected]; Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:29:25 +0100 >> Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:28:39 +0100 >> From: [email protected] >> To: Dummy User <[email protected]> >> Subject: Hello dummy >> Mime-Version: 1.0 >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 >> Message-Id: <E1Q4BZV-00032m-Fq@ec2> >> Return-Path: [email protected] >> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Mar 2011 12:30:03.0500 (UTC) FILETIME=[DCE862C0:01CBED43] >> >> Hello dummy I tried again, setting the 'Return-Path' header when building the email, but the "Return-Path" header in the received mail is still set to be the same as the from address. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
