[NTLUG:Discuss] Return-Path header

[Paul Ingendorf]

In you are calling sendmail directly use the -f option to force the user.
See man sendmail and press '/' then enter '-f' press return/enter and it
will explain it in detail.

The messages are responding to the from address which I don't think complies
with the rfc spec but I'm sure that is what is happening.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Return-Path header


i have several cgi programs that invoke sendmail to send emails to both
individuals and lists.

since these are run by the webserver's uid, the Return-Path header generated
by
sendmail is <nobody at ....>.

what i really want is to be able to set Return-Path so that undeliverable
mail
is returned to an address specified by the customer that 'owns' the program.

i tried explictly adding a Return-Path header into one program and sent out
a
few test emails. no dice.

i'm a total sendmail configuration dummy. the bat book might as well have
been
written in sanskrit. it is totally undecipherable.

does anyone have an idea of who i might be able to tell sendmail to honor a
Return-Path header if it's already defined in a message?

thanks.......
