when a user sends: How to GET UNDELIVERABLES
Hello Alex!

When a user sends an email and that email address does not exist as a recipient, the undeliverables do not land up in to his or her account.

How to get it in his account?

You can read the undelivered emails in the admin area...

admin -> email -> underliverable -> read the email -> MOVE

and 'move' them from there into any users account.

Cheers,
Regan.

Hello!

Thanks for your idea but that was not my question.

It relates to the Return path definition in the email module and I do not know where to change.

Alex would know. I had to play a lot before I found out about *.eml! Now I do not know about sending emails by any user.

What I meant, to make it more clear, is that when the user sends an email and if the recipient does not exists, then the emails cannot be received back into his or her account because the returnpath is that of default@server.com and not the user defined by FROM line. For e.g.

If the user is Alex@gt.com and he sends email to bill@gates.com

Now bill@gates.com does not exists.

So the email needs to come back.

When the email was sent, it contained the return path as either root@gt.com nouser@gt.com or anonymous@gt.com!

When the email gets returned it will land into those three default email box and not to Alex@gt.com, even though the FROM address was defined as Alex@gt.com

Thats the problem. To pass the variable to the returnpath.

Alex, what do you think about some magic tags of

Return Path: <GT::xx::<%user%>@domain%>

Can this be done by those magical tags?

Can all the templates, including the *.eml + email.cgi, etc parse those magical tags?

Hi,

Return-Path headers were added in 2.0.3, however it varies greatly on your mailer. qmail works fine, however depending on if you are using SMTP or sendmail it may take some changes.

Cheers,

Alex
