Thank you for your suggestions!
I did set the "From: " correctly, both in the php.ini and in the php code that
calls mail(), but this only sets the "From:" and not the "Return-path:"
I agree that the message-id is not that important, but it would be nice if one
could have the "Return-path:" reflect the same domain as "From:"
I have this in php.ini (the -r parameter is supposed to set the return-path,
but seems to have no effect):
sendmail_path = "sendmail -t -i -f [email protected] -r
[email protected]"
and in the php code sending the mail, the headers are also set:
$headers = 'From: me < [email protected] >' . PHP_EOL .
'Reply-To: me < [email protected] >' . PHP_EOL .
'X-Mailer: www.mydomain.com' ;
...
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
The outgoing mail does have the correct "From:" and "Reply-To:" headers, but
the "Return-Path" stays as the hostname of the machine --
how else can one set the envelope sender ? (Putting a line with "Return-Path:
<[email protected]>" in the $headers variable doesn't do it either -- it gets
replaced in "cleanup")
