map-mail-compose php return_path

[stsights]

Hello. I have a trouble with the envelope return_path.
My php script has this.

$envelope["from"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["return_path"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["in_reply_to"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["reply_to"]= "info@mensajote.com";

But the email that I sent arrive with this.

Return-path: <@artic.x10hosting.com>
Envelope-to: sms@mensajote.com

If you look the return_path is not changed to info@mensajote.com and it should be changed because in the script is correctly put in $envelope["return_path"]= "info@mensajote.com";

Could any one knows how to fix this error??

Thanks a lot guys.

does any one know how to do this??

You didn't provide enough information. How are you sending the e-mail? When asking about code, always include a minimal test case. You did do a good job describing what you want the script to do and what it actually does.

I believe that return path is the server (correct me if I'm wrong), so I think that it should be a server name. Try responding to your email. If it works, you should be good to go!

 

[stsights]

Yes the return path is the server, is the cpanel username@name of the server.
I send the email via imap function
$envelope["from"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["return_path"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$part1["type"] = TYPEMULTIPART;
$part1["subtype"] = "mixed";
$mail =imap_mail_compose($envelope, $body);

imap_mail($tigo,$subject,'',$mail))

but with this line $envelope["return_path"]= "info@mensajote.com"; the return path is not replaced with info@mensajote.com, I use the return path to receive an email that if the email that I send fails I receive the fail, but the fail is sent to
stsights@artic.x10hosting.com

Is any one that use the return_path just like me??
Thank you guys

Wait a second their... try using

$envelope["return-path"]= "info@mensajote.com";

instead. If I am right, it's simply because return_path is not the same as return-path.

 

[stsights]

I changed
$envelope["from"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["return-path"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["in_reply_to"]= "info@mensajote.com";
$envelope["reply_to"]= "info@mensajote.com";

And still appears

Return-path: <stsights@artic.x10hosting.com>

Note that the Return-path header is supposed to be added by the final mail server; even if you set it, it may be replaced.

The stock imap_mail_compose looks for "return_path" and adds it to the list of headers. However, the output of imap_mail_compose on X10 doesn't include the Return-path header. The code

<?php
$envelope= array("from"=>"info@someplace.com",
				 'to'  => 'nemo@nusquam.net',
				 'cc' => 'nobody@nyet.net',
				 'bcc' => 'mother@ispy.net',
				 "return_path" => "info@someplace.com",
				 'reply_to' => 'info@someplace.com',
				 'in_reply_to' => 'id#DEADBEEF',
				 'message_id' => 'id#CAFEBABE',
				 'date' => 'now',
				 'subject' => 'stuff'
	);
$message='Message';
$body = array(
	array('type' => TYPETEXT,
		  'subtype' => 'plain',
		  'description' => 'one',
		  'contents.data' => "$message"),
	array('type' => TYPEAPPLICATION,
		  'subtype' => 'xml',
		  'description' => 'two: XML',
		  'contents.data' => "<?xml version='1.0'?>\n<msg><b>$message</b></msg>")
	);

echo imap_mail_compose($envelope, $body);

generates the output:

Date: now
From: info@someplace.com
Reply-To: info@someplace.com
Subject: stuff
To: nemo@nusquam.net
cc: nobody@nyet.net
In-Reply-To: id#DEADBEEF
Message-ID: id#CAFEBABE
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII
Content-Description: one

Looks like imap_mail_compose isn't having problems with other headers, just Return-path. You could try using a 'custom_headers' entry in $envelope to add Return-path, but it will be added towards the bottom of the headers and the final mail server will probably add one at the top. Which one takes precedence depends on the mail client.

It could be x10 has a feature limited imap_mail_compose, or there could be something in imap_mail_compose. I'll take a closer look at the source later in case of the latter (unless you do it first).

 

[misson]

I finally got around to looking over the source. Turns out the cause is in the IMAP c-client library. imap_mail_compose calls rfc822_header(), which only outputs specific headers, not including Return-path. imap_mail_compose then goes on to print custom headers itself.

Final analysis: there's no way to set Return-path using imap_mail_compose and reliably have the mail client get the value you want. Of course, you shouldn't be setting Return-path; the final mail server should. Setting Reply-to is the appropriate course, which you're already doing.

Hi Misson.
Now I understand why the return-path is never changed, I assumed that the return-path it could be changed because I find some examples with imap_mail_compose using return_path but is not possible to do that.

Misson a final question the server do the final address in return_path, but just for imap_mail_compose or we can set the return_path in the headers of the mail?

Thank you for all your responses.

 

[misson]

Take a look at the arguments to imap_mail, specifically the $rpath argument.

 

[stsights]

Look at this some one had the same problem before

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30688
Edit:
$to='find_job@bk.ru';
$siteemail='admin@maydomain.com';
$subject = "This is subject";
$headers .= "From: $siteemail<$siteemail>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <$siteemail>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$siteemail>\n";

$message = "This is the text.";

imap_mail ($to, $subject, $message , $headers) or die('send failed '.imap_last_error());

imap_close($mbox);

This code do not generate the return path now I see that is generated from the server
