[ZendTo] Re: How to handle bounces

[Jules]

This is trivial to implement, and appears to work just fine with Postfix 
as well as sendmail.

Edit /opt/zendto/lib/NSSDropbox.php
Go to line 894 and you should find a line saying
               $headers
Add a comma onto the end of that line, and insert a new line immediately 
below it that says this:
               '-f "'.$fromAddr.'"'
Save and exit your editor.
Run the command
     php -l NSSDropbox.php
(that's a lower-case el in the line above)
to test that you haven't made any mistakes, you should get a reassuring 
message back from that command.

Try sending a new dropoff to an address that doesn't exist. You should 
get an email back saying that your message couldn't be delivered as the 
user is unknown.

Please can you try this and let me know if it works for you too!

If it does, I will put it in the next release.

Jules.
