Php set return email

Question

When using PHP to send emails, how can I set a return path for receiving returned emails?

Answer 1

There mail()is a parameter that allows the user to set additional headers. You must set the "Return-Path" header, for example:

mail($email, $subject, $message,
"From: $returnaddress\n"
. "Reply-To: $returnaddress\n"
. "Return-Path: $returnaddress);

Answer 2

To make this work on my server (bluehost), I also had to use the fifth parameter (for example, "$ Additional"), as shown below:

     $headers = "From: [e-mail]\r\nReply-To: [e-mail]";

     $additional = "[e-mail]";

     mail("[e-mail]", "Subject", "Message",$headers, $additional);
