Return-Path: is a virtual header. It does not mean anything to MTAs. Some MTAs: add it to the messages but it is ignored by any receiving server.

No, what I am telling is that Return-Path header is usually meaningless to MTAs. The envelope sender is that is specified by the SMTP command MAIL FROM: (not confuse with From: header) is used as return address for bounces. Sendmail and similar MTAs use the -f switch to specify the return address. I don't know a MTA that looks up the Return-Path: address to use as return address, except for that class. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
