Nah, you'll need to make changes to your email server (the server receiving the emails) to recognise certain things in an email and bounce in the ways you want.

Re: [PHP] how can I make an email bounce
If you have a previous bounce message then something like Mail Redirect https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/550 extension in thunderbird might work. You simply bounce the email to yourself, or from one account to another. I've used it quite often to test procmail rules, and the like. Although, as I use gmail for my email I don't have to worry about my inbox being full. Also, if you can give us more details about the actual email server then maybe there could be a way to induce the required bounce messages, somewhat like the eicar http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm file is a semi-standardised anti-virus test. Then again, I run exim4, and haven't bothered looking at trying to force certain bounce messages without reconfiguring the server.

Re: [PHP] how can I make an email bounce
I guess you'd need to make the delivery fail. The easiest way to do this is probably fill up the email box. If you have control over the mail server, you could set the quota for that email box to zero. Most other failures are going to be the result of problems that may or may not be easy to replicate even if you control the server. Someone more intimately familiar with email servers might be able to give you some ideas, though. I admit ignorance on most of that. -TG - Original Message - From: Richard Kurth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP General List php-general@lists.php.net Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:01:24 -0800 Subject: [PHP] how can I make an email bounce I need to make a bunch of emails bounce in different ways so I can check to see if my script to read a mail box full of bounced emails will work properly.
