mail function ()

[haref]

hi ng,
what can i do in the following mail function, which hast 400
subscribers
who are read from a database and to which the mails are send in a
loop, when there are some adresses who are not reachable.
My provider receives all the fail mails.
is it possible to send the mail daemons ( failures ) to a special
adress,
so that the provider doesnt reseive so many emailfailures ?
thx for a quick answer

Yes, replace the e-mail address sender@mail.com in

$mail="sender@m ail.com";

with your own address so that the mail appears to come from you, i.e. the
bounced messages will be returned to you.
