Hello Alexander,
I haven't been following this thread, so please forgive me if I missed
something.
I remember back when I first set up TBUDL using TB, and RITLabs was
hooking me up with a new binary just about every other day to correct
problems I had when setting up the list under TB. One thing I
discovered was that some SMTP and some POP3 servers strip the
Return-Path from messages.
For those long time members, you'll remember getting bounce messages
that included everyone's e-mail address whenever a list post bounced
from a subscriber. It was shortly after that when RITLabs included the
Return-Path header to fix my problem.
However, it still wasn't working and we came to discover that my SMTP
server was stripping them. I changed SMTP servers, and still had
problems. I then also changed my POP3 server and had no problems after
that.
I noticed you were using 1.41 (final), and I've got some test messages
I had done in HTML from 1.41 beta3. All of them included the
correct Return-Path header.
I also just sent and received a cpl of test messages under 1.42 beta
3, and both of them retained the correct RETURN-PATH statement.
I'm still not sure why you're losing them. It might have something to
do with being the very first header. Maybe it gets stripped off when
it is the first header by your gateway.
