Context

A key customer complains some mails are not forwarded. That's because we do consider it as outgoing spam thus do not delevier it.

Cause

The user requested MDN

However we did not set Return-Path header causing anti-spam complains.

Not neglictible negative score due to this (1.5 magnitude)

Solution

When setting Disposition-Notification-To also set Return-Path header.

EG TB exemple:

Return-Path: <btellier@linagora.com>
Message-ID: <9719fe1a-69b8-49f3-821f-e7a5abfdcd0b@linagora.com>
