I used the IAdmin tool to create the file. I just looked at the rules.ima file in the list sub-directory. Here is what is in that file:
H~Return-Receipt-To:!OR!H~Disposition-Notification-To::[EMAIL PROTECTED] The "abcd.com" is fictitious, and the "bounce" user just bounces the message back by using the Auto Response feature. Do you have a better rule? It seems that there are two formats for return receipts. The Return-Receipt one and the Disposition-Notification one. Please let me know which rule worked!
