Acquia uses the return-path email address to send notifications about bounces or complaints. Acquia recommends that you track bounce or complain addresses and take corrective actions.

Note

*   The domain in a return-path email address must be a verified domain.
*   By default, the return-path is set to the email address configured in site details or `admin/config/system/site-details`. This is the `from` address. To customize the return-path to a specific email address and not use the `from` address, you can implement custom hooks. For more information, see [function hook\_mail](https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21core.api.php/function/hook_mail/10).
