mb_send_mail vs. mail()

[KoshNaranek]

Let's have a look at the php-documentation for mb_send_mail:

additional_parameter is a MTA command line parameter. It is useful when setting the correct Return-Path header when using sendmail.

So... does anyone have an example for this???

My problem: sending a mail with mail() sends out a wrong
header - our mailserver does not accept relaying... so it drops
the message and can't send the mail back to the linuxbox or
the sender...

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $sentby <$sentby>\r\n";
if ($sendmeCC=='1'){$headers.="CC: $sentby\r\n";}
    @mail("$sendto", $msubject , $sendmsg, $headers);

Header contains a wrong "Return-Path" ... altering the header does not work... so mb_send_mail would be the right way... but i can't figure out, how... 🙁 any ideas??

Should be:
Return-Path: <[e-mail]>

wrong headers:
Return-Path: <[e-mail]> (internal mails)
or
Return-Path: <[e-mail]> (external mails)

Mail() also suports the MTA command line parameter, and even shows the example you're after

@mail("$sendto", $msubject , $sendmsg, $headers,"[e-mail]");

sounds easy 🙂

Thx.

the chm-docu-file shows for mail() only this example

mail("[e-mail]", "the subject", $message,
     "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nReply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); 

I knew its -f --- i've found that sometimes... but i didn't know, how to use it. Thanks again 🆒
