Re: [SM-USERS] Return Path for sub-accounts is wrong

"What do you mean by 'master' email account and 'sub-accounts'?"

The master account is the one that I log into cPanel with.
By default, it gets all the mail for the domain.

When I log into Squirrel, I log in as whatever account I want to send/receive email 
from.

The problem has nothing to do with Personal Information.
The 'From' and 'Reply-to' and other items are correct.
The problem is with Return-path, which is sometimes used for bounceback and/or error 
emails.
Return-path is not normally visible when you read an email, but is in the header 
source.
For example, from below, the incorrect Return-path:
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If this same email had been sent a POP client (or Horde webmail), you would 
(correctly) see:
Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

My goal is to figure out what my web host needs to do to generate the correct 
Return-path.


Below is a sample email, with some of the items edited to protect privacy.

My web host uses cPanel and has SquirrelMail (version 1.4.0).

My host uses cPanel, but I have not seen this problem. I successfully use
SquirrelMail with multiple mail accounts, and each works as expected.

I have a master email account, and several separate sub-accounts, all of
which have distinct mailboxes.

What do you mean by "master" email account and "sub-accounts"? I really
don't understand what that means. On my cPanel host, every mail account is
a separate account. I don't understand what a "sub-account" is.

Are you logging in as the address that you wish to show as the sender and
return address? Have you gone to Options: Personal Information and entered
the address that you want to use for each account?
