Q: 

Setting Return-Path Header Other than Sender Address using SMTP command.

Greetings all.

I'm faced with an issue with basic SMTP.. I would like to set the return-path header to an address other than the Sender address (i.e. From: Header) using SMTP command. I know MAIL -F sets it. However, I issued the following sequence of commands into my mail daemon (TELNET rlogin) and got the SMTP error 503 - Bad Command Sequence

TELNET HELO: MAIL FROM : MAIL -F: RCPT TO: Subject: Test Bounce

test mail for bounce functinlaity

quit

Can anyone of you please suggest me a possible way out of this? I will be grateful.

Cheers, Matt.
