I'm wondering if there is a way to route Non-Delivery messages to an address that is not the from address.

Are there SMTP servers that allow you to configure this?

What I have tried:

I searched various websites and could not find a header value that does this.

Create a rule/filter in your email app that triggers on certain phrases, like "Undeliverable" in the subject, or somethign like that.

You may want to look at some of the headers listed here:
Set From, Reply-To, Return-Path, To, CC, BCC, Priority and other headers in e-mail[^]

I have used some of these headers in various projects over the years; and one of the most important things I learned is that your mileage may vary. Headers that worked perfectly fine for 99% of addresses did not work for Yahoo addresses.
