Say I use php to send an email, and that email bounces.

Where does it end up?

Can I force the return address so it would consistently go to a
particular address?

Thanx


And your PHP question is?

You need to be asking this in an email (or SMTP) newsgroup.


The php question is how do I get php to do this.

The scope of question includes achieving some goal using php. For all
other things I would go to the php.net documentation section.

If you cannot be of help, don't answer. Mr. Aho pointed out some
issues that I need to deal with. He may not have given me everything
I need, but he gave me a clue. That's called "help".

Blowing someone off with a flippant non-answer is something else
entirely. Pomposity comes to mind.



You don't. It has nothing to do with PHP. It's all in the mail
itself and the MTAs' handling of the mail.

Once you figure out how the MTAs' determine where it goes, then the
PHP answer will be obvious.

But PHP has nothing to do with the routing of the message.

Learn how to determine the correct place to ask your questions. My
response was not pompous. I tried to steer you to the correct place
to get the answers you're looking for.

But you seem to be either an *** or an idiot. Not wanting to even
take the basic steps to see what's involved, and then calling someone
pompous because they tried to steer you to the right place to get an
answer.


lol, you did come off as pompous, you know! Good intentions aside, you
seemed to have tried little to give a useful answer and a lot to say why
he was wrong. Can you really be surprised?
