I'm running PHP 4.3 under Win2K. As per the docs, I've got the SMTP
server and sendmail_from set in the php.ini file. Sending mail works
fine thus far. We add From as an extra header and the mail looks fine
when it arrives in the users mail box. The problem comes when mail is
sent to a bad address. Instead of bounces being sent to the From
address, they are sent to the sendmail_from address. This obviously is a
non-optimal way of handling things. I've tried adding a Reply-To header
but no luck.
Any thoughts on handling bounce messages elegantly short of writing a
custom parser to check the sendmail_from mailbox and send the bounces to
the correct addresses?
TIA,
Judah
