I have several email addresses that forward themselves to my server.

(I originally was using fetchmail, but I couldn't figure out how to make tmda handle confirms properly for this with exim ... the confirms always said they were "from" [EMAIL PROTECTED], same with reply-to ...)

Anyway, the current problem:
On two of my email accounts, I have set up forwarding via a web interface.

On the email account hosted by pair.com , confirms go to the right place.

On the email account hosted by mailsnare.net , confirms go ... right back to mailsnare.net.

On inspection of the headers, my guess is that the problem is the Return-path: header on the email I receive. This header seems to be set as the "upstream" mail servers forward the message to my local server.

For the pair address, Return-path is set to the account that originally emailed me -- and confirms get emailed to that account. All is right with the world.

For the mailsnare address, Return-path is set to my mailsnare address -- and confirms get emailed to my mailsnare address. All is not right in this world.

Is there anything I can do about this myself, or do I need to beg mailsnare to change their behavior?

-- monique

PS -- other addresses for which I've created simple .forward files work fine.
