Types in the com.sun.* hierarchy are not for public consumption. Even if you
can get your hands on the code, you're probably not legally entitled to use
it. Assuming you're not a programmer selling your soul to a spam outfit, why
don't you investigate the Apache codebase for something similar, but
publicly usable?

thanks for the answer,
maybe this problem can be solved from another direction:
I have been trying to set the return path of a message like this:

message.setHeader("Return-path", Setting.get("some@path"));

but it seems that when i get the mails sent like that the Return-path
is taken from somewhere else (like the from line)

Setting.get("some@path") offcourse gives the right string (which is not
the same as what i get in the email)

that is for Sun internal use only. What you most likely really want
in the javax.mail package. See

[Roedy Green]

message.setHeader("Return-path", Setting.get("some@path"));

what happens if you use setReplyTo(Address[] addresses). Does that set
Return-path as well?

In other words, if you want them different, try doing the setHeader as
the last thing.

I tryed that, but it didn't help... they are still the same (bot are
like the reply-to).
they must be different

Unfortunately we don't have the JavaMail source to help plan another
attack.

If you turn debug on, you can see that SMTP in mindlessly simple
protocol. Perhaps what you will have to do is roll our own with
sockets.

thanks,
i guess this will have to do then...
oh well

While Roedy's advice may be correct, may I suggest that you also file a
bug with Sun for the dual purpose of:

1) discovering potential work-arounds
2) helping the next poor guy not have to roll his own.

HTH,
