Bad Return-Path anonymous@hostname sent through scripts...

Hi there,

Whenever an email is sent through a script ( perl or php ) the Return-Path is set to anonymous@hostname. I know that mail() in php requires the Return-Path argument, otherwise sendmail will then add the anonymous@hostname it self

Is there anyway to control what email address is written in there by sendmail ( qmail ) ?

Is there a way to set default mail() Return-Path to match the from address ?

Or is the only way to fix this behavior is by having my customers coding properly ?

Thanks
 
Hi,

You can try calling sendmail in your script using

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -fyouraddress@whatever

If that does not work try

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -fyouraddress@whatever -Fyouraddress@whatever

Make sure to use the correct path to sendmail and change youraddress@whatever to the return "From" address.

Hope that helps.

- Dave
