Re: Mail fifth parameter

Hi, I am no expert on sendmail configuration but my little knowledge tells me sendmail shouldn't change any headers that are passed to it if it is configured properly. joel boonstra wrote:

It's an often overlooked fact that you can pass additional headers in the fourth parameter. I do belive you should use \n and not \r\n then your code will look like mail("user@example.com", "object", $message, "From: webmaster@domain.com\n ". "Reply-To:webmaster@domain.com\n". "Return-Path: webmaster@$domain.com\n);

As mentioned in another post, the Return-Path header can and usually is overwritten by sendmail when it does the actual sending. In addition to a previous suggestion, one way to reliably set that header is to use phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) which has the option of using an smtp server rather than sendmail directly. joel
