want to get bounced mail in different address

[Atanu]

Im using System.Web.Mail to send emails to the users. Now i want to receive
the bounced mails in a different email id from that of the from(sender) id.
Im doing something like this...

MailMessage mail=new MailMessage();
mail.Headers.Ad d("Return-Path","id@domai n.com");

but the bounced mails are coming back to from id.

Initially i thought smtp server is overwritng return-path informations with
the from id and i thought of some configuration changes over there(which is
not very easy as this involvese lot of management permissions issues). But
then i downloaded a trial version of a component and tried to do the same
using that component and using the same smtp server and it worked. Means the
bounced mails are coming back to the return-path id , not to the from id.
So that makes me feel that the problem is not with smtp server.
Can anybody throw some light here. I want to stick to System.Web.Mail for now.
To make it simple im not posting the actual codes here. But if it's required
i can do that in the next post.

please bear me if its not the right thread for this question.

i forgot to mention...i tried the following as well but didnt help me...

mail.Headers.Ad d("Errors-To","id@domain. com");
mail.Headers.Ad d("X-Bounce-Recipient","id@ domain.com");
mail.Headers.Ad d("Envelope-to","id@domain. com");
mail.Headers.Ad d("Reply-To","id@domain. com");

And i think Reply-to means the receiver would reply to that id although it's
been sent from another id. And my requirement is to catch the bounced mails
in one defined id.
