sending mails bounced to address different from sender address

[SharpSmith]

hi all
i have a very specific question regarding emails sending and googling
doesn't help me
is a way exists to send email using .NET framework (System.Web.Mail or
something else)
and have the "from" address to be X
but if the message is bounced from not existing address or whatever, it
will be returned to adress Y ?

i tried to work by approach described in that article :
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/clean_your_address_list.asp


it looks streigforard, but author is using easymail object
with System.Web.Mail i did not find any way to set OptionFlags to
prevent auto-creation of reverse-path

so , my code looks exactly like described in the article, but without
OptionFlag
and when i send mail to unavailable address, i got bounce to email
specified in "FROM" header

my code example if it can help :
<pre>
MailMessage oMsg = new MailMessage();
// bounced emails goes to email specified in oMsg.From
// sender name displayed for recipient is
oMsg.Headers["From"]oMsg.Headers.Add("Reply-To", oMsgDetails.ReplyTo);
oMsg.Headers.Add("From", oMsgDetails.Sender); oMsg.From =
txtBounceTo.Text ; //reverse-path
oMsg.Subject = oMsgDetails.Subject;
oMsg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
oMsg.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
oMsg.To = emailAddress;
oMsg.Body = oMsgDetails.Content;
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = mailServer;
SmtpMail.Send(oMsg);
</pre>

appreciate any help
Thanks

One way would be to set up a rule in the inbox for X to forward any messages
that have a specific text in the subject line to Y

No need to cross-post so much.

I'm not sure if you can do this systematically because you are really at the
mercy of the receiver. If an email goes into a mail server where it will
bounce automatically, the email program on that server can be configured to
use either the From address or the Reply-To address. Thus, you have no
control over and can only hope that they'll use your Reply-To address.
