In fact what finally does set the Return-path is to use the "-r" parameter in
the 5th place:
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-r [email protected]")
the "-f" sets the "From:", but that was already working by setting it in the
$headers or in the php.ini
What's odd is that putting the -r parameter should also work from the php.ini
settings but doesn't.
Thank you all!
