Adding a 'Reply-To:' header doesn't cut it, since this is typically something only
your MUA is interested in. Great for actual replies, but useless if the message bounces.
Error messages get sent to the sender of the message, according to the SMTP-envelope (also called:
Return-path). Usually, with mail sent from PHP, this is nobody@localhost.localdomain (depending on
your setup, of course).
The only way to change the envelope-sender, is by putting "-f<address>" in the 5th
parameter.
Adding a "Return-path:" header yourself is not the way to go, since that's not the
way it's intended to work and it probably won't (see RFC 2821, section 4.4).
One thing you _can_ try however, is adding an "Errors-to:" header to your message. But
again, not all MTAs support this, so it may not work.
