So, you mean even if Return-Path is invalid ... it'll anyway be sent back to
localhost (i.e. if MTA is running from localhost)
Actually ... I did try this little experiment of blocking [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from another account on Yahoo, sent a mail to it using sendmail, and to my
despair ... I didn't recieve any bounced messages :( neither at localhost nor
@vsnl.net
Ok ... so as Raj says ... blocking mails at recipient level didn't bounce them
back to where I wanted. And I can make out from what Tarun says ... they went
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So I guess I'd rather let the Return-Path be set to the defaults and ensure
bounce back at the cost of band-width.
(and again try that experiment)
Thanks Raj and Tarun for helping me sort that out.
Regards,
Gagan.
