Using Apache + PHP on linux.
Say I use php to send an email, and that email bounces.
Where does it end up?
This has to do with if you use smarthost and/or how the remote SMTP is setup, smarthost and delayed checkups will cause the bounce go back to the reply-to, while in normal cases the bounce will be stored in the inbox of the user who tried to send, in this case the user as whom the Apache is run as.
Can I force the return address so it would consistently go to a particular address?
Of course you can set the reply-to address, but if the mail will bounce there depends a lot on how you have setup your local SMTP and how the remote SMTP is setup to which you are trying to send, but count on that the mail will bounce to the Apache users inbox. Depending on which SMTP you use locally, you can forward all mail that is for that inbox to be sent to another address, but how you do that is a question for another newsgroup that is relevant for the question.
