Is is possible to set the return-path of qmail to be a specific email address instead of the "root@server" default? If so, where would that be configured?
Thanks for any help.
 
I'm 99% positive that's a function of the mail reader/client you are using, not within qmail, sendmail, or normal MTAs.

Thanks for the reply. I am sending email using a php script. I guess I could set the return-path in the email header, but I thought I read somewhere that qmail (or qmail-inject) overwrote the return-path. Does it?
Thanks.
 
No, I believe if you set the header via script or client that qmail does not need to write it. I suppose what you're seeing is that qmail is trying to deal with "missing" headers according to RFC?

OK, thanks. I appreciate the help.
