https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36115 Bug ID: 36115 Summary: Improve documentation for Return-Path (branches.branchreturnpath) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: magnus@libriotech.no QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org I am not sure if the code or the documentation is the problem here, but let's start with the documentation. For reference, the manual says this today: Email: the email address field is not required, but it should be filled for every library in your system - Note: Be sure to enter a library email address to make sure that notices are sent to and from the right address - Note: If no email address is entered here, the address in the KohaAdminEmailAddress system preference will be used to send notices from this library Reply-To: you can enter a different ‘Reply-To’ email address. This is the email address that all replies will go to. - Note: If no email address is entered here, the address in the ReplytoDefault system preference will be used to receive replies to this library Return-Path: you can enter a different ‘Return-Path’ email address. This is the email address that all bounced messages will go to. - Note: If no email address is entered here, the address in the ReturnpathDefault system preference will be used to receive bounced messages from this library. https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#adding-... Mu scenario is as follows: We host Koha for a number of libraries that want to send messages to their patrons by email. For some libraries we can't send email through their SMTP for different reasons. So we set up a noreply address with a domain that we control, so that we can use that as the sender of the emails, and we can do our best to set up SPF, DKIM etc for it, so it won't be seen as spam by services such as Gmail. Based on the description above, I set it up like this: Email = noreply Reply-To = real library email Return-Path = real library email But it turns out that when postfix was processing the email, and passing it on to our SMTP server, it was seeing the "real library email" from the Return-Path setting as the "from" address, not the "noreply" address that we wanted it to see. So the question is: - Is the code wrong in using the Return-Path address as the "from" address? - Or is the documentation wrong in saying that the Return-Path is just for bounced messages?
