Hello,
Is there any way, in which we could see
Return-Path for a mail in postfix queue via any command or referring to any file.
Using postcat -q <queueid> one can see the From address, sender:, but no
Return-Path
Also when is the
Return-Path added into the postfix ?
I was referring to one article (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/postfix-change-return-path-and-writing-own-script-for-master-cf-657934/) which states that "The Return-Path is added by Postfix's cleanup agent just before final delivery." Is it true ?

Thank you
Also any thoughts on if the "Return-Path" is added by postfix in header or its the same as the envelope sender.

The envelope sender is written into the mail as "Return-Path" by the

MDAs (Mail Delivery Agents) when the mail is finally delivered.
So yes, they are the same, but the "Return-Path" is only a reflection of
the envelope sender.
Hope this helps.

Use the mailq command. This shows the envelope sender (and
