I combined the code from those two links:
http://cephas.net/blog/2006/06/09/using-apache-james-and-javamail-to-implement-variable-envelope-return-paths/
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-james1.html
Here are the core parts:
String verpFrom = .....
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.from", verpFrom);
Somehow, I solved the problem by setting a global session object(there
was a local session object in my original code), just like the session
object in MailClient.java file in above link.
Hope this helps.
