Hi First of all, thanks to everyone that is helping in this issue! I have been looking again and again at the specs and I found this in the RFC 822: <!--StartFragment--> 4.4.4. AUTOMATIC USE OF FROM / SENDER / REPLY-TO For systems which automatically generate address lists for replies to messages, the following recommendations are made: o The "Sender" field mailbox should be sent notices of any problems in transport or delivery of the original messages. If there is no "Sender" field, then the "From" field mailbox should be used. o The "Sender" field mailbox should NEVER be used automatically, in a recipient's reply message. <!--EndFragment--> So according to the spec I should use "Sender: <dtml-var OurBounceProcessingAccount>" in our DTML-Method that uses dtml-sendmail, no? I mentionned the envelope-sender because in the postfix mailing list, when I asked to whom the message will bounce, I got the answer "to the envelope-sender"... So all this is about how to set up the envelope-sender using Zope and postfix... I see that Sender is not related to the envelope-sender ... Is the envelope-sender then the user that is passed to postfix when doing the SMTP connection and giving the mail from: command? Maybe my mistake is in the term "envelope-sender"? Cheers and thanks again! /B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Tegtmeyer" <frank.tegtmeyer@cia-mediahaus.de> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] dtml-sendmail and envelop sender [Q]
I have just found a tip to try and use the 'Sender:' header as well. The Sender:-header has nothing to do with the envelope.
managing the envelope is your best bet. Errors-To and Return-Path are hacks (although I just noticed that MailMan uses these headers as well.)
Return-Path: SHOULD be the envelope sender address. To use Errors-To as a last fallback is of course possible although it keeps this thing artificially alive.
