It's a sendmail config thing. Do you have access to the server? Or is at a web host? If you can get access to your php.ini file and restart apache, you can change the sendmail path to: sendmail -t -i -f bounce_mail_address@example.com That bounces all mail to that address. I believe that in PHP 4.0.6 they added another parameter of the mail function that lets you add options to sendmail from each script, but check the docs. HTH. Paul BTW, since your original message wasn't about databases and PHP, it should've gone to PHP-General.
