A Perl script installed on my Raq4 that collects opt-in list submissions is configured to use a return address from the domain it is installed on (say admin@thevirtualsite.com). When someone signs up by submitting their address the script sends out a notification to confirm the signup. If the address is no good the returned mail message comes back as follows vs. being returned to the return address in the script. This seems to have something to do with the file owner on the server but it's beyond my skill set to know where to start looking for solutions. Here's an example of the full headers on a returned message that should have come back to "admin@thevirtualsite.com" (names are intended to indicate where they come from on the server)
Return-Path:

Due to the way the messages are being return addressed by the Raq4, AOL thinks they are spam mailngs which is not the case.
