Posted by Gustaf Neumann on

The bounce address is used for bounce handling, so it depends, how important the OpenACS built-in bounce handling is in your application.

  • one possibility would be to configure a parameter "BounceToSender", which could deactivate the OpenACS bounce handling without much hacking around.

  • another possibility would be to use a custom mail sending proc, in case, you want to send this kind of mail just from one certain application/page/... one could provide an additional parameter to send_immediately for this purpose.

  • a next possibility would be to make postfix accepting the bounce address, which is also configurable via the package parameter EnvelopePrefix of acs-mail-lite, which defines the result of bounce_prefix (see below).

Probably, there are many more options.
