[cobalt-users] Re: Changing "Return-Path" in PHP mail function - Help needed

[Adrián Boismoreau <aboismoreau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I've tested it, but the problem is that I cannot make the mail()
function to use my headers. I puts always this:

 Return-Path: <httpd>
 Received: (from httpd@localhost)

I think this if better for the PHP list.

Tanks for your help anyway.

mail (PHP 3, PHP 4 )

.......
Example 3. Sending complex email.

/* recipients */

$recipient .= "Mary <mary@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" . ", " ; //note the comma

$recipient .= "Kelly <kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> . ", ";

$recipient .= "ronabop@xxxxxxx";

/* subject */

$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";

/* message */

$message .= "The following email includes a formatted ASCII table\n";

$message .= "Day \t\tMonth \t\tYear\n";

$message .= "3rd \t\tAug \t\t1970\n";

$message .= "17rd\t\tAug \t\t1973\n";

/* you can add a stock signature */

$message .= "-\r\n"; //Signature delimiter

$message .= "Birthday reminder copylefted by public domain";

/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */

$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@xxxxxxx>\n";

$headers .= "X-Sender: <birthday@xxxxxxx>\n";

$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer

$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; // Urgent message!

$headers .= "Return-Path: <birthday@xxxxxxx>\n"; // Return path for errors

/* If you want to send html mail, uncomment the following line */

// $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // Mime type

$headers .= "cc:birthdayarchive@xxxxxxx\n"; // CC to

$headers .= "bcc:birthdaycheck@xxxxxxx, birthdaygifts@xxxxxxx\n"; // BCCs to



and finally...



/* and now mail it */

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
