 New Comment:

what is the output of:
echo ini_get('sendmail_from');
echo ini_get('sendmail_path');
before you call mail()

And does the sendmail you are using support the -f option?

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.  Actual full email and header:
