retain 'from address' after setting 'envelope from'

I am trying to use JavaMail API for sending mails to a list of users. If I have an invalid email address, I would like a bounce mail to be sent to a common email address that is not the same as the "from email". I have no trouble doing this as I am setting envelope address.

But, for the success mails, I still have this envelope address as the from address and not the 'fromAddress' that I would like to have. Because of this, when that user replies, he gets to the common mail.

I know there is a bug (6173291) listed in SDN from a while. I was wondering if any one has faced this and solved the problem. Please help.

Thanks,

Aswin

What do the headers look like on the message when it's received?The enveloper from address shouldn't appear in any header thatan email client is using when replying.

When I try to reply, its going to the address that I used as 'envelopeFrom' address. What I observed is that the 'envelopeFrom' value is copied into the 'fromAddress'.

Do you have a valid From address in your message?Some mail servers will create a From header from theenvelope information if the message doesn't have aFrom header.

I'm running out of ideas.Show me the message you send (save a copy using msg.writeTo) andshow me the message you receive (use the "view message source"option in your mail reader).Have you talked to your mail server administrator about this?
