Re: How to set sending e-mail address?

mike skrev:

Return-path is used by mail daemons, not usually shown in client emails That's what From or Reply-to is for... Return-path is valuable for capturing bounces and stuff. I always set it to a bounce@ alias, and then the From: is always the friendly "display" address. I also use popen() to open a connection directly to my sendmail binary (/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f -i bounce@returnpathaddressishere.com) it seems to act instantly where I've had some oddities with PHP's mail() in the past. Thanks Mike, but it didn't really help me out in this app...

This one is making use of PEAR Mail:Mime and Mail, and that seems to work really good, set aside that I can't alter the Return-Path. I really do want the return path to be different, just because of the bounce capture, there's a special address for those on the system where this thing runs.. Therefor I'd like to set it. Anders

I'm trying to figure out how to set the sending address when sending e-mail from PHP, but it doesn't seem like I'm having much success.. When I look in the mail queue, I always see 'wwwrun@web.domain.tld' as the origin (the web server user). In my sending routine I set headers like this: $hdrs = array(

'From'    => $MAILFROM,

'Subject' => iconv(strtoupper(CHARSET), "ISO-8859-1", $subject), 'Reply-To' => $MAILFROM, 'Date' => date("r"), 'Return-Path' => 'POSTMASTER@domain.tld' ); Oh, the mail sent doesn't use the Return-Path I set, it's still set as wwwrun@web.domain.tld. What else can I do, and what have I missed? Anders -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
