Error messages go to neither the From: nor Reply-To: addresses. They
go to the "MAIL FROM:" address (sometimes called the "envelope
sender"). Picture it this way: you take out a sheet of paper and
write a letter on it. At the top of it you write that is is from you,
but a response should be sent to your other address. Now you take
that paper, fold it, and put it in an envelope. On the envelope you
put the recipients address and your return address. If there is a
problem, is the post office going to open the envelope and see that
you want responses sent to a different address? The correct solution
is to put the proper return address on the envelope. For email this
means setting the right "envelope sender".
What is currently being set as the envelope sender (given in the "MAIL
FROM:" SMTP command)? What do you want it to be?
