It should be the Return-Path: field (or rather, the MAIL FROM: SMTP
command that was used to generate the Return-Path:) but it isn't
always. If you've been using any mailing list for a while, you've
probably seen bounced mail go to either the list itself or back to
you, when it should go to the list manager (debian-user-request in
this list's case). The MTA's doing this are broken, though.
