I found that in my postfix, the bounced mails that return to senders have 'Return-Path: <>', if the mails come from internet, this make the failures of "returning to sender", because:
"You are not authorized to send mail as <>"
"invalid user - <> SIZE=2509"
"from=<>"
I'm not clear about the meaning of 'Return-Path', is there anyone can give me an explanation?
I explored the mailbox, and found:
Code:

This site has a valid DNS name. I don't know why it becomes user <> since there is
"From: MAILER-DAEMON@SITE.com (Mail Delivery System)"?
Some mails were bounced by the remote server, and I found that the 'Return-Path' of the message which my server sent is right(USER@SITE.com). Why?
Thank you.
