Cyrus + Sieve

[Gottschalk, David]

The Return-Path must be my problem them.

Right now, any emails that come into dgottsc at miriam have a return path of that.

So your saying the Return-Path should be the sender of the email, not the recipient? Correct?

No, the "From:" line is, as always, utterly meaningless.

Which is normal.  But they will show how the message actually got
processed;  most importantly who the message was addresses to by the
first server to process it.  I've seen people header/masquerade
rewritting rules do some weird stuff.

The Return-Path: specifies the reply address for any autp responders
(RFC3834).  It shouldn't matter for diagnosing your problem unless
something is rewriting the Return-Path on inbound messages [which would
be very wrong, and in your MTA, not in Cyrus].
