Hello,
We are using Exim 3.33
After setting headers_sender_verify to true
Exim rejects all bounce messages from other MTAs,
with the following note in the reject log (test example):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2002-05-03 14:30:48 173cD2-00068p-00 rejected from merkur.hrz.uni-giessen.de [134.176.2.12]: there is no valid sender in any header line (envelope sender is <>)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If the envelope sender isn't empty (also the headers Return-Path isn't empty)
but everything else in the header remains constant,
then Exim accept the message without a repine.
Also I'am wondering why Exim at all do any header checking for this mails,
cause I only have our local machines in sender_verify_hosts.
At the moment I hav'nt a clue.
Every hint is very welcome.
Also, is there a way to leave the foreign bounce messages alone ?
