Re: php mail()

The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail. You may need to add the user that your web server runs as to your sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when you set the envelope sender using this method. Example 375. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message, "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME", -fwebmaster@$SERVER_NAME); from http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Paul Roberts http://www.paul-roberts.com mail@paul-roberts.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Dameron" <serpent@tscnet.com> To: "'PHP'" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 8:44 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] php mail() Hey do you guys know how to correct this problem with sending email? A custumer uses mail() to send the email and it isn't deliverable. So the message bounces. But since the local sendmail sent the email it thus bounces to root's mailbox instead of say the replyto address. Anyone know how to correct it so that it sends the bounces to the person sending it? This is on a virtual host machine with hundreds of domains.
