Re: Re: Default Return-Path with mail() and qmail

hi, Somehow this is starting to annoy me -- sorry for the unnecessary "noise" I am causing on this list. I just thought people who are having the same problem would be looking on marc.theaimsgroup.com or google and find a possible fix. I'm not forcing anyone to use it. > Setting Return-Path is useless.

This also applies to qmail-smtpd, however, I'm talking about qmail-inject. > You simply need to setup your mailserver correctly and php accordingly, ie: > let the webserver user be allowed to use the '-f' sendmail flag and provide > this in the arguments of mail() or via ini_set. I'm not using mod_php. And the -f switch is a nice quick-fix, but it would force me to hardcode a Return-Path and how can I be sure that <webmaster@customer.com> really exists? It is just more intuitive that if a user supplies a "From" header, not only human-generated responses will get back to him, but also machine-generated bounces. > In no way, should mail() by default equal the RCPT TO user to the From: > header - if I would host users, And I'm sure my users don't want me to read their mails. But I HAVE to read bounces. I never touch people's personal stuff otherwise. > I would like to know, if they start spammin' or have buggy scripts.
