Re: Why not routing this address to ERROR?

This will act on destination addresses and return paths - if the Verify HELO
and Return paths option is ON.

 Verify return paths is on, and I have all my "routing to error"
 entries first in the router. What circumstances would cause this to
 fail? I've yet to have this email address blocked.

 From the log:
 01:51:23 2 SMTP-357([64.4.17.76]) {S.0000602203} received, 1282 bytes
 01:51:23 2 SYSTEM [S.0000602203]
 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0+1

This is the message ID, not return path.

 From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

And this is not the message return path either.

Thanks... now, not to appear too dense, but I need some help understanding this.. where do you find the "return path"? From the offending message headers:

Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: from [64.4.17.76] (HELO hotmail.com) by realimagesdesign.com (Stalker SMTP Server 1.8b8) with ESMTP id S.0000602203 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 10 Dec 2002 01:51:23 -0500
Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC;
Mon, 9 Dec 2002 22:48:56 -0800

X-Originating-IP: [134.193.144.251]
From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Is it the "Return-Path" as specified in the headers above? In that case, it seems like <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>=error should work. Or is it something else, do I need to turn on more logging in SIMS to discover it?

The Return Path is indeed what SIMS creates a Return-Path header from.

I think you may need to turn the logging up on the SMTP and general syst3em modules to get a good picture of just what's happening here. You need the level 5 SYSTEM and ROUTER lines...
