Re: Where does email get bounced to?

Hello,

on 04/26/2008 11:17 PM Preventer of Work said the following:
Using Apache + PHP on linux.
Say I use php to send an email, and that email bounces.

Where does it end up?

It goes to the return-path address.


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

Yes, in PHP you can set the return-path address but it depends on the
way the message is sent and the OS (and MTA) you are using.

You may want to try this MIME message composing and sending class. It
has several sub-classes specialized in different delilvery methods like
mail() function, SMTP, sendmail, qmail, Microsoft Exchange pickup
folder, etc..

In any case you just need to set the Return-path header and the class
that you use for delivery will take care of mapping the Return-path
address to whatever is the right way to make bounced messages go to the
address you specified.
