Hi!

I've seen a problem lately that's really annoying. I don't know how to
attack it.

I host a web site on my servers, they use the phpBB forum system, and that
system sends e-mail to verify new users.

But when the recipient of that phpBB generated e-mail doesn't exist, the
bounce message isn't addressed to the webmaster of the forum, but it comes
to me, as the system admin.

The headers in the outgoing e-mail is as follows;

To: xxxxxx.com
Subject: Welcome to the Forum Forums
Reply-To: webmasterdomain.se
From: webmasterdomain.se

Which is fully correct.

The bounce message I get contains;

From: MAILER-DAEMONmail.the-server.net (Mail Delivery System)
Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
To: wwwrunmail.the-server.net

Why is it addressed to 'wwwrun'? That's the user that Apache runs under, so
that part could be explainable, but how do I set things up to send the
bounces to the webmaster of the forums instead?
