Re: mail() - Return-Path

1. Message sends. 2/3. The code used is as per the annotated on line PHP manual cookieme@usa.net 11-Jan-2002 02:10 There used to be a note with a complete set of headers to use with the mail function but somehow now its gone so here they are again hope it helps :) $headers .= "From: Name<mail@server.com>\n"; $headers .= "X-Sender: <mail@server.com>\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; //mailer $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; //1 UrgentMessage, 3 Normal $headers .= "Return-Path: <mail@server.com>\n"; //Uncomment this to send html format //$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; //$headers .= "cc: birthdayarchive@php.net\n"; // CC to //$headers .= "bcc: mail@server.com"; // BCCs to, separete multiple with commas mail@mail.com, mail2@mail.com Regards P.A. Luis Tena O. Mexico city. 4. No error messages. An email constructed as above sends perfectly - but the return path defaults to the apache user (in my case www) not the supplied return path. I tested the header construction by changing Return-Path: to X-Path: and the X-Path: header appears correctly. I am not sure but it seams that the real Return-Path is not overidable. I hope this is clearer. Malcolm At 12:06 12/01/2002 -0000, you wrote: >Malcolm, > >> I Have been trying to change the Return-Path: when using mail() but to no >> success.
