But in the last week or so I've been getting over 100 bounces from unknown recipients, presumably due to a "joe job". I found that all of these bounces contained the following first two header lines: From [email protected] Wed Jun 22 10:24:59 2005 Return-Path: [email protected] No other emails have these lines. I assume they are added by my mail server. I don't suppose it would be a good idea to include it in the standard headers list but it might be worth documenting.
