mail function

Re: mail function

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:

Re: mail function

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@).

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
