+1 Or as RFC 3834 put it: If the response is to be generated after delivery, and there is no Return-Path field in the subject message, there is an implementation or configuration error in the SMTP server that delivered the message or gatewayed the message outside of SMTP. A Personal or Group responder SHOULD NOT deliver a response to any address other than that in the Return-Path field, even if the Return-Path field is missing. It is better to fix the problem with the mail delivery system than to rely on heuristics to guess the appropriate destination of the response. Such heuristics have been known to cause problems in the past. Frank
