Heh... It just occured to me, that I am using a dbmail forward myself as of last weekend. Looking that this message (the one I'm replying to), there is a single "Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" header. That will be where bounces are sent, and from some testing it looks like that is inserted by the smtp receiver, using the MAIL FROM address. (There was no Return-Path: in the message headers of what dbmail sent me on a forward, so the one I see has to be added by the local smtp receiver). Lemme see what I can find in rfc 2822.
