Overview
Comment:Do not put "Return-Path:" headers in notification emails to be sent. That is a violation of standards as only the receiving SMTP server should add the Return-Path header. Instead, include a custom X-Fossil-From: header that downstream software can use (if desired) to set the envelope header of the message.

For email notifications abound events from a single user (such as individual forum post notifications) make the From: address be a "noreply" hash based on the users human-readable name or handle. Always include a Return-Path: field in the header that is the email-self setting, to be used by MTUs that need to bounce the message. ... (check-in: 475c9d11 user: drh tags: trunk)
