    mail function

    Hi all

    I've written a little newsletter script that takes addresses from a table
    and sends an e-mail to them. What I don't understand is what happens to
    wrong addresses. It all works and when I receive an e-mail it says it's
    from newsletter@doma in.com (for example). I've put some rubbish into one
    row on my table to deliberately make it bounce but I don't get anything
    bounce back at my end.

    We want to be able to measure how many addresses are working so we can
    remove any our of date e-mail addresses from the table.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Cheers

    Andy

      Andy, what are you specifying as your "from" address? I do something
      similar, and all junked emails get returned to the "from" address (in my
      case apache@).

          Send an email to yourself, and look at the Return-path: part of the header.

          I have a snippet of code to send mail, check here:
