mail with exim

[toshog]

hi all

i have a problem setting the envelope sender in 5.1.2 using exim as mta.
in the php.ini i have:
sendmail_path = /usr/local/exim/bin/exim -ti

in the script i have:
$headers = 'Return-Path: '.$email."\n"
.'From: '.$email."\n";

mail($to, $subject, $contents, $headers,'-f'.$email);

the above thing does set the from header correctly but not the envelope. Return-Path gets set to [e-mail]

no mather if i use "\r\n" or just "\n" for the header line breaks...

the exim version is 4.66....

any idea why can't i set the envlope with the -f ?
man exim says that's how you supposed to do it. and the php manual too...

thanks...

but in the mean time i did add to the exim configuration trusted users like:
trusted_users = exim : www

hoping that the the www user will be trusted enough to change the envelope user.
it didn't..... do anything... :xbones: :mad: :evilgrin: 😕 😕

just wanted to say that i was on the right track. but in the wrong file..

trusted_users = httpd_user_here

but in the exim configure that php is using - the MUA one not the MTA one... ok?

that's it... happy egg hunting.... :evilgrin:
