RE: [PHP] How to prevent failure email from being sent?

2002-10-31 Thread Richard Archer
Noah,

If you delete the webmaster email key you might find that it makes up
some non-existent e-mail address based on your server name.

You could try adding an 'Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' header in the
e-mail which is supposed to tell the receiving server to send any errors
to a specific address. It's never used by anyone so chances are there
are servers out there that will ignore it, but it's worth a go. Then,
depending on what e-mail client you have, you could have a rule that did
some clever jiggery-pokery and removed the offending address from the
list without even bothering you.

Regards,
Rich

Hey guys,
My service sends out emails every few days to members who wish to 
have stats sent to them. The problem is once an email becomes 
inactive, I the webmaster gets a failure email sent to me. This is 
starting to add up and I can get upwards of 20 of these a day. It just 
seems likea  waste of space and bandwidth... is there anyway I can 
prevent this?
If i delete the webmaster email key in php.ini will my emails not 
have a reply address?

Why don't you just remove those people whose email address has become invalid?
