Thanks for the details!
This is ironic. A couple of 'extra' headers in the email notifications
from Ringlink are there in order to discourage it from being used for
spam or other forms of abuse:
Sender: The 'real' sender, in this case the address
of the system administrator
X-Originating-IP: The IP address of the ISP where the person
who initiates the message is logged in.

It should be noted that the ringmaster copy of a delete message is a
bcc copy. One thing that might be worth testing is to change it to a
cc copy. This can be done in 'sub email' in rlmain.pm (or in Ulf's
case in gentools.pm).
Has also noticed that if mail-delivery-error (host unknown, no
account etc) and the ringlink mail is returned as attachment;
Such return messages are composed by your mail server, not by Ringlink.
Outlook Express removs access to the attachment (= mail sent from
ringlink) as not safe.
To me that sounds like an OE configuration thing.
Can it be someting in the mail-header, that makes Hotmail think it
is spam and OE that it is unsafe?
Don't know. See above about the extra headers added by Ringlink.
I notice that in the mail-header Return-Path, From and Sender is
not the same: From: ringmaster@xxxx Sender:
adminemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Return-Path:
my_accont_name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (not my domain) This puts all
mail-delivery-error in my catch_all_mailbox.
That's correct. "From:" is the logical sender, e.g. the ringmaster
address, while the "Sender:" always is the system administrator
address (see above). As regards "Return-Path:", what you mentions here
tells me that your Ringlink installation sends the messages via
sendmail, and accordingly "Return-Path:" is controlled by the sendmail
configuration. If you switch to the SMTP option, the address in the
"Return-Path:" header will equal the "From:" address. (Btw, this makes
the SMTP option the better alternative IMO.)
It would be interesting to know whether changing from 'bcc' to 'cc',
as suggested above, makes a difference. Feel free to contact me privately.
