Explanation
The 'Errors-To' email header specifies an alternative address where mailer-generated error messages (such as bounce-backs, non-delivery reports, or 'no such user' messages) should be sent, rather than going to the From address. This is commonly used in bulk mailing systems to redirect error handling to a dedicated address. The other headers serve different purposes: MIME-Version indicates the MIME protocol version used, Content-Type specifies the media type of the message body (e.g., text/html), and Content-Transfer-Encoding describes how the message body is encoded (e.g., base64, quoted-printable).
