Bounces are returning to "nobody's mail" and not
« on: May 17, 2005, 11:23:46 am »
Bounces are returning to "nobody's mail" and not the bounce.cgi. In WHM (CPANEL Server MGT) it offers to input the email address for all bounces going to NOBODY. Is there a way to change this?

From WHM, "nobody receives bounce message from email sent via cgi scripts if you are not using suexec."

This is a very common problem with the "Return-path" email header not setting correctly with PHP mail(), used for notification, welcome, and confirmation messages.

There is a work-around but it doesn't always work and is not recommended to be enabled by default as it may add an extra "X-Authentication-Warning" header to your messages.

Try changing this line in config.php:
Code: [Select]
$phpmailf = '';
To this:
Code: [Select]
$phpmailf = 1;
