EDIT: Bleh. I think the problem is because I am using google mail's SMTP. They automatically set the Return Path as the mydomain.com one rather than the user's email as I would have liked :/
Hi there :)
On my website, a user can send a piece of media to another. So my server sends a notification email to the destination user's email.
However the problem is, when the user sends to an invalid email, the bounce message is sent to me! (I'd like it if the Delivery Error message was sent to the user's email. Otherwise they have no knowledge that it failed).
I guess this is because I have my own email robot@mydomain.com in the from field. However this appears to be necessary otherwise my messages get marked as spam (spam filters seem to like the from email domain to match the actual server that sent the email..).
So my question is, is there any way you have used to successfully get bounces sent to a different email than the from field?
(or even, a way of having the "from" field as the user's email - not from your own domain - without getting marked as spam)
