Hi,

Paul is right, you can't change the Return-Path header. On a windows server
you could use the 'sendmail_from' setting in php.ini, but that doesn't work
on Linux/Unix. Also, the -f 5th argument of the mail() function does not
function with safe_mode on in php. It also generates a
X-Authentication-error in the emailheader (for me, at least) and I am told
it can lead to dangerous security problems.

I gave up some time ago to try and fix this problem. When my emails don't
reach the target because visitors don't fill in their correct emailaddress,
I won't receive any delivery errors. I used Reply-To, Error-To and whatever
more, but I couldn't fix it. Maybe something can be added to a later release
of PHP to fix this? I for one would be extremely happy with that.
