Works for me... $from = 'digital.tarsier@gmail.com'; $headers = "From: $from\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-to: $from\r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: $from\r\n"; mail($from, 'Test', "This is a test.\r\n", $headers); Note however, that your configuration of sendmail (or whatever is in php.ini) could probably be configured to not accept a Return-Path header... CAN you run sendmail from the command line, as the PHP User, and get Return-Path: to work? If not, then PHP can't do it either. That may have been the whole purpose of the tutorial... Or, perhaps, the point was that for a static Return-Path: you could set it in php.ini just as you would from the command line. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
