#1842 ActionMailer doesn't correctly use return-path header - Ruby on Rails - rails ?

Thanks. My problem was the wrong email format was being entered to the
recipients I was sending to. I think many of these errors are due to
the fact that in the controller they do not get the correct values
from their email form.
