Bounced e-mails

Can anyone offer any advice on how to configure RTIR or the MTA on my
RTIR system so that bounce messages go somewhere sensible?

At the moment, if I mistype a e-mail address in an investigation say,
then the message that comes back saying it has bounced goes to root,
which is not me and I therefore don’t see it.

I don’t want to redirect ll root’s mail to me, but I would like to be
able to see these bounce messages.

I’m using RTIR 1.0.5 on a Debian system using Exim as the MTA.

Regards,
Tony.

Add an

Return-Path:

header to your templates. See RFC2076. Note: this might eventually be
overwritten by a smart MTA which wants to prevent sender spoofing.
You might want to try “Errors-To:”, this is not a recommended solution,
but works (most of the time).
