AFAIK Returned Mail messages are generated by the SMTP server, not by the
email client application. 

The reason you might not be recieving these _could_ be because the headers 
are being incorrectly genereated. You probably want to check what you set
the "From:" header as, this would usually be the address that any errors
are sent to (unless you state a "Sender:" header in which case that is used
IIRC, you can always check RFC822 ;).

I would suggest checking the smtp server logs to see what is actually happening
here.
