I do have my own php.ini file for my site, but can only see the following vars: mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: sendmail -t -i). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i I¹m working off a Linux box, so presumably I can¹t use the sendmail_from variable? I also tried to set the following variable in the headers for the mail: $headers .= X-Return-path: ME [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n; Setting the return path is dependent of the delivery method. You may be able to set it using the mail function fifth argument, send via SMTP or call the sendmail program directly. You may want to try this class that simplifies everything by emulating the Return-Path header. Then, depending on the delivery method that is used, it will map to the appropriate action to set the return path address.

[PHP] Re: sendmail vs smpt
Hello, On 12/02/2003 07:50 PM, Pablo Gosse wrote: Hi all. I'm curious as to the performance difference between scripts that use sendmail vs. smtp for their mailing abilities. I use the following class for delivering emails, http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ , and since I don't have sendmail running on my local machine I'm using the smtp server of the university where I work to deliver my messages. However, it seems to be a bit sluggish. I'm going to run a test of switching the mail handler from smtp to sendmail once the application is in its permanent home in a few weeks, but for now does anyone have any opinions on this, and is there any advantage to using one over the other? Forget SMTP. There is a myth that SMTP is faster than queuing message via sendmail but that is just a reflex that some people do not understand how it works. What you need to understand is that sending messages usually consists on two things: queueing and deliverying. Usually you do not deliver messages directly to the end recipient. You just pass them to a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) that will take care of the delivery. When you you pass the message to sendmail program, depending on it may be configured, it may either try to deliver the message immediately and return when it is done, or just leave the message on the local queue for later delivery. When you relay the message to a SMTP server, usually it just queues the message there for later delivery. Obviously, if you use sendmail and it tries to deliver the message immediately, it will take eventually a little more time, but the message is already delivered. If the message is queued for later delivery, your PHP script does not have to wait so much but the message may take much longer to be deliver. Even if you just want to queue the messages for later delivery to free your PHP scripts, sendmail can do it much faster because you will be using local interprogram communication to injec the message in the local queue. If you do it via SMTP server, you need to establish a TCP connection which is much slower even when the SMTP server is in the same machine. If you just want to free your PHP scripts and leave messages in the queue, what you may need to do is to pass sendmail the appropriate switches to tell it to do it so. For that, you can check sendmail documentation to see the available modes, or you may want to try this e-mail message composing and sending class that has sub-classes specialized in delivering via mail() function, sendmail, qmail and SMTP. The sendmail subclass provides options that translate to the appropriate sendmail switches. For faster queueing, set the delivery_mode variable of the sendmail_message_class to SENDMAIL_DELIVERY_DEFERRED . If you can have a qmail MTA in your machine, use qmail because it is by far the most efficient. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Emails sent from my php scripts, using sendmail, all have a goofy return-path variable in the header. Is there a way I can correct this, or does it require a change to the sendmail config file that I can't get to? You should be able to use the fifth parameter (additional parameters) that was added in PHP 4.0.5 to properly set the envelope-sender, which will cause the 'Return-Path' header to be set properly. Quick example: ? $to = 'You [EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $subject = 'hey!'; $message = 'This is the message.'; mail($to, $subject, $message, From: $from, -f$from); ? Note that this doesn't do error checking on the status of the mail() command -- it's just a quick example. There also may be sendmail config things that prevent you from setting the Return-Path in this manner; that's out of my area of expertise, so if the above doesn't work, I'm not much more help...
