Man sendmail :
-V Variable Envelope Return Path. Given an envelope sender address of
the form
owner-listname [at] origi, each recipient user [at] domai receives
mail with a per-
sonalized envelope sender address.
By default, the personalized envelope sender address
is owner-list-
name+user=domain [at] origin The default + and = characters are
configurable with
the default_verp_delimiters configuration parameter.
-Vxy As -V, but uses x and y as the VERP delimiter characters,
instead of the
characters specified with the default_verp_delimiters
configuration parame-
ter.
My postfix version is : 20011226

Yes that's exactly what I was thinking. We just parse the Return-Path
header, if that doesn't exist we'll take the information from the From
header and force that address as sender.
Should work.. I'll look into it.
Best regards,
