#29122 [NEW]: mail function ignoring -f arg as 5th argument

From: brian dot foddy at nwa dot com Operating system: Solaris 2.8 PHP version: 5.0.0RC3 PHP Bug Type: Mail related Bug description: mail function ignoring -f arg as 5th argument Description: ------------ The mail functions additional parameters argument is ignoring a "-f" argument. I need to send sendmail a -f argument to change the Return-Path outbound header to get past some email spam settings. This same code worked fine in the previous version I used (4.2.3). Configure as reported by phpinfo: './configure' '--with-apxs=/apps/soc/apache/bin/apxs' '--prefix=/apps/soc/apache/php5' '--with-sybase-ct=/apps/soc/sybase/OCS-12_0' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-config-file-path=/apps/soc/apache/php5' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-ldap' '--enable-soap' '--with-libxml-dir=/apps/soc/' '--with-mysql=/apps/soc/mysql/' Running on Apache 1.3.22, Solaris 2.8 Ultrasparc V880 machine. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $t_headers = "From: brian.foddy@nwa.com\n"; $t_headers .= "X-Sender: xsender@nwa.com\n"; $t_headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion()."\n"; $t_headers .= "Mailing-List: SOC Issue Tracking - Mantis\n"; $t_headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $t_recipient = "brian.foddy@nwa.com"; $t_subject = "Subject line"; $t_message = "This is a test message.\n"; $t_message .= date; $result = mail( $t_recipient, $t_subject, $t_message, $t_headers, "-fapache@nwa.com"); if ( TRUE != $result ) { PRINT "PROBLEMS SENDING MAIL TO: $t_recipient<br />"; exit; } print nl2br($t_message); print ("<BR>Done"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The resulting email should have a Return-Path: apache@nwa.com Actual result: -------------- Actual Return-Path in header is still raw machine name.
