Yes, you are right, the SMTP-Sender is responsible for creating bounce
mails, and normally I would do it in the way you said. What I forgot to
mention is that I am getting the emails with fetchmail from a pop3
account. So I don't have acces to the original SMTP-Session any more.
Unfortunately, at the moment, I have no chance to get them in an other way.
