Yet they seem to do...? Maybe dropped is not the right word? Clients may not receive emails which lack certain headers, as these emails are regarded spam by certain ISP's. Some people never even get 'normal' Outlook emails which are BCC'ed to them. The cause? Beats me... Somewhere, something, blocks/drops/deletes these emails...

Hmmm... I ofcourse noticed that if I don't use -f in the 5th mail argument, return-path is something trashy like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, then I delete that from my list... > > $headers .= "Error-to: Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; > This wont guarantee errors to return to that email address. No sh*t, I _never_ get bounced emails back although I set the reply-to and error-to headers. Someone told me some SMTP's use this header so I took my chances. -- Ivo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
