Description

I've just got this bounce message back from hotmail, which seems to show that the email headers contain the users email address. I am the admin user for our site and my email is matt.gibson@mymoodle.com. the site is at http://moodle.mymoodle.com and the SMTP user is moodlenoreply@mymoodle.com, which is a user account on our exchange server.

Here is the bounce message

I'm afraid I had problems forwarding your message. Full details follow:

Subject: 'ok, no problem....'
Date: 'Sun, 7 Oct 2007 11:04:30 +0100'

1 error(s):

SMTP Server <mx1.hotmail.com> rejected sender <matt.gibson@pmymoodle.com> (Error following MAIL command). It
responded as follows: [msn.com]

I have also attached the mail's original headers. Sorry it didn't work out.

Sorry, typo - should be @mymoodle.com

I will try to test, although I had forgotten about this and have not seen the errors recently. I was more worried about the inaccurate return path and From field.

I got some strange return url too when testing the linked bug, that is why I thought it might be related.
