Can't overwrite Return-path

[Adam R]

I want to use mail() function but I can't overwrite Retun-Path info. Most
mail servers overwrite the 'Return-path' header sent by the PHP mail()
function by a default email address (httpd@hostingc ompany.com or
apache@domain.o rg).

I tried :

$headers = 'From: MyName<'.$from. '>\r\n';
$headers .= 'Return-Path: MyName<'.$from. '>\r\n';

even:

$headers,"-f".$from

can't help.

Any idea? Thanks.

Return path cannot be specified as header, you must use the -f parameter.
Whether you can do it or not depends on your host's security settings.
Also, return path doesn't accept a name, only an e-mail address.

When I use -f parametr I can't receive messages even when I use e-mail
address at $from. Can be Return-Path compared with Message-ID to avoid
spam?

I would simply like to create a script which will enable sending sms
notifications about new e-mails in my mailbox.
