Good Day Coders -
I have built a newsletter program with php. It sends out an e-mail to a couple thousand subcribers every day. All works well. My problem is that I have know way of finding out which e-mails are not being delivered successfully.
My code is as follows:
$to = stripslashes($row3["email_address"]);
$subject = stripslashes($row3["name"])."'s Curmudgeon-Online for ".date("F j, Y");
$message = stripslashes($row3["name"])."'s Curmudgeon-Online daily e-mail for ".date("F j, Y")."
--------------------------------------------------------------
".$quotes;
$headers = "From: The Curmudgeon-Online <sender@curmudgeon-online.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: sender@curmudgeon-online.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <sender@curmudgeon-online.com>\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
This generated the following headers:
Return-Path: <www@ftp.pezcandyinc.com>
Received: from [127.0.0.1] (HELO ftp.pezcandyinc.com)

as a result any undeliverd messages are routed to www@ftp.pezcandyinc.com, an address that does not exists.
Is there any way to change the return-path header?
Yours,
