SMTP FROM (Return-path) never using VERP
May 13, 2010, 04:49:56 pm
For some reason, my outgoing bulk mail is never using VERP in the envelope MAIL FROM (Return-path). It is always the same as the "From" fields regardless of what "Override VERP address?" is set to.

The "Reply-to" is using VERP and the incoming response processor works fine with it, but I need bounce processing, too.

I'm running Drupal6 and CiviCRM 3.1.

Thanks for any clues.

What outbound system do you use ? Until recently (3.1.4 ?), the sendmail option ignored the VERP. Might also be that your smtp server decides that it does want to set it to something else that you requested.

Post your log, will help identifying the pb source.

Thanks for the reply.

The "outbound system" at what level? The local submission agent is sendmail.

I'm running CiviCRM 3.1.3. Does 3.1.4 fix this? What "sendmail option" are you referring to? (Where in the manual?)

Which log?

And you use sendmail, not smtp ?

I'm pretty sure it's been included in 3.1.4

Thanks, that question got me to the workaround, to configure it for SMTP, which works.

But what's necessary to get it to work with sendmail?

Are you saying this is fixed in 3.1.4? Do you have a bug tracking # or some other reference link?

Yes, 3.1.4 contains the fix.

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5946

It also offers you the option to choose the mail() function (a less resource intensive option that both sendmail and smtp for what I could mesure).

Thanks. I added a note to the JIRA item, also.
