That's how it should work -- automated messages are supposed to go to the
"return address" ("MAIL FROM" from the SMTP envelope, which often doesn't
appear in the E-mail headers).
>For an e-mail sent with this header, the auto-response responds to

Because the headers aren't used in determining the address to send to.
The PHP script is saying "Please send bounce messages and other automated
messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]". So IMail does what it is told.
To fix it, the PHP script should set the return address to the "From:"
address of the E-mail that it is sending.
