Almost all MTA copy "(SMTP) envelope sender" to Return-Path: header before delivery to the final mailbox. If you do not get Return-Path: header in messages delivered to your (dovecot) mailbox then name your MTA (exim/postfix/sendmail/.....). -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu You are absolute plate-glass.
