Hello

we got problems with customers requesting MDN according to RFC-3798
with Disposition-Notification-To: header and using BATV on their
gateways. On our side we honor read-request and sent MDNs with empty
envelope sender to their Disposition-Notification-To: header which
is unfortunately different form their BATV envelope sender and
therefore dropped in many cases :-(


As a workaround i had the idea to replace by Header check on our
side the Disposition-Notification-To address by the return path but
i'm not sure if this is doable or even a smart idea?

Any comments?

Not easy to do.  You can't do that with header_checks or a postfix
policy service, you would need a milter or proxy of some sort.

At any rate, it wouldn't be a good idea to blindly rewrite all
Disposition-Notification-To: headers to the envelope sender since
they might be different intentionally.  So I'm going with not a
smart idea either.

So i will go the road to try to reach soemone at the remote end and otherwise ignore the problem. After all its their read-receipts which will get lost...

Ralf's suggestion of turning off DSN for selected offenders is
probably the best.

But DSN != MDN, in our case the "offenders" don't use DSN anyway but many of them automatically request a read-receipt (Outlook/Exchange users).
