I have designed an email sending client application using Developer Studio 2006 C++Builder with TIdSMTP and TIdMessage.  How can I have bounced emails go to a different email address from the email addressee?

I meant a different address from the SENDER address.

You don't, because that is not how the email system is designed to
work.  Error messages, such as bounces, are meant to go back to the
original sender, as determined by the path of the message as it
progresses through the system.  You can't change that.

But programs like Mulberry can. And Outlook too (Outlook only via
rules). Probably these programs are not made using Indy ;)
