He says later in his email that:
"The reason I mention this is because any email delivery failures will
not be sent back to you, but to our servers (due to the way that PHP
writes the email headers when using the mail() command)."
... Is there a way to get the bounces to go to the reply to address?
I've never really cared to, but now that he mentions it ... It would be
nice.

Sounds alot more like advertising than sanity ... there's not much
trickery in using the mail() function ... only if you want to attach
files can it get a bit tricky (encoding the file and inserting the
result), but in reality, there's not much in using that function
properly ...
