Thread: Problem with return Path

    Default Problem with return Path

    I downloaded a configured version today (7.11). Put it on my website and bingo - it worked - magic.

    Closer examination however showed that the return path seems to be incorrect. It does not have the 'from' address - instead it has an 'administrator' value - telfordsteamrailway.co.uk@hosts.co.uk
    which is nonsense.
    So using 'reply' works - picking up the 'from' address
    however my email server auto reply doesnt as it picks up this bogus address in what I believe is the 'Return Path'
    I tried turning on SET_SENDER_FROM_EMAIL and SENDMAIL_F_OPTION
    as in http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=1231

    did I miss a config option?

    help appreciated

    Now this is definately silly

    I have
    define("SENDMAIL_F_OPTION",true);
    define("SENDMAIL_F_OPTION_LINE",__LINE__-1); // don't modify this define("SET_SENDER_FROM_EMAIL",true);
    in the formmail.php file.

    I have
    <input type="hidden" name="email" value="me@me.entadsl.com" />
    <input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="FromAddr=me@me.entadsl.com" />
    in the form

    and I get

    Return-path: <telfordsteamrailway.co.uk@hosts.co.uk>
    From: me@me.entadsl.com
    Sender: Site Administrator <telfordsteamrailway.co.uk@hosts.co.uk>

    Any help appreciated

    I tried the testmail3.php file given in another thread
    it didn't work so I guess I am stuck with an ISP with
    settings that dont permit this

    Ah well.
