Send yourself an email using PHP and examine the Return-Path listed in the
source code. (The Return-Path is not the same as the From you're setting.)
If you're using a commercial host (shared hosting), then the Return-Path is
probably something like user@servername.hostingcompany.com. My host provides
Horde for web-based email, and bounces go to the master user account.
