Re: [PHP] Return-Path header and sending email with php
You can use a class that sends mails by connecting directly to smtp server, e.g. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage Chris Balay wrote: Good Day Coders - I have built a newsletter program with php.

Re: [PHP] Return-Path header and sending email with php
Chris -- You have started a new thread by taking an existing message and replying to it while merely changing the Subject: line. That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message, your mail client generates a References: header that tells all recipients to which posting(s) your posting refers. A mail client uses this information to build a thread tree of the postings so that it is easy to see just how they relate to each other. With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your posting shows up within an existing thread even though it is completely unrelated. Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. That means that you do not select any sort of Reply when you start your message. You can save the list address in your address book (or equivalent) for convenience. ...and then Chris Balay said... % % Good Day Coders - Hello! % % I have built a newsletter program with php.
