Perhaps I misunderstand ..
I am sending out the original email not the administrative messages ....
I am trying to include in my email that goes out the information I need to correctly process the bounce, so, for instance I send out an email that has
Return-Path: <XXXX-598=robert%uktw.co.uk@???>
To: robert@???
From: Os@???
I want administrative responses to arrive back at XXXX-598=robert%uktw.co.uk@??? and ordinary ones to arrive back at Os@???
Were qmail and postfix wrong in letting me do this? I'm sure Exim is better but its a steeper learning curve ;-{ .. all help is appreciated

Postfix allows this in violation of the standards. The return path on
administrative messages is supposed to be <>. Always. Postfix breaking
this standard is a real pain, because it makes it much harder if you
want to create ACLs that treat ordinary messages one way, administrative
messages another. Personally, I take the viewpoint that if some Postfix
admins are going to break the standard, I'm going to ignore them.
Rewrite the sender address on ordinary messages if you like. Exim
provides rewriting rules which you can apply to individual transports or
to all messages. Don't rewrite the sender address on NDRs and the like
- you're only hurting yourself.
