Sorry, a very late answer.

Seems that setting 'errors_to' in router *SUFFICES* to update $return_path.

As stated some month ago, i was working on this for implementing SRS, and
doing my test was finally convinced i needed to set a rewrite to full modify
$return_path.
Now, i've redone all my test, and also disabling address rewrite,
$return_path is what i expected (eg, the ''one shot'' SRS address).


Probably in my previous test i get fooled by two fact:

a) Exim refuse to set $return_path if address does not exist; so, you have
to verify $return_path is a verifiable address before setting it.
In my test i've hitted my head on the wall for weeks, because i was testing
the ''producer'' of SRS addresses before building (and testing) the
consumer.

b) probably there's some ''cache'' mechanism, so a restart of exim it's
needed.


I hope this info can be useful. Say me, please, if you have found other
interesting things on this subject.
