Is there such an option or not?
Your answer is no. RFC compliance is why the Internet works. Period. SM is RFC compliant. Your mail server is not and is therefore broken. DSN notifications are sent with a null sender to prevent mail loops. If you're not following the rules you can't expect others to change to fix your problems. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1891.html 7.1 SMTP Envelope to be used with delivery status notifications The DSN sender address (in the SMTP MAIL command) MUST be a null reverse-path ("<>"), as required by section 5.3.3 of [9]. The DSN recipient address (in the RCPT command) is copied from the MAIL command which accompanied the message for which the DSN is being issued. When transmitting a DSN via SMTP, the RET parameter MUST NOT be used. The NOTIFY parameter MAY be used, but its value MUST be NEVER. The ENVID parameter (with a newly generated envelope-id) and/or ORCPT parameter MAY be used. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
