Hi all

I'm revisting this thread still hoping I can solve this issue about bounced emails. My host is no help. For that matter, I bugged them for days about changing the php.ini file and this was the reply they sent me:

Quote
Unfortuantly the php.ini cannot be changed though you can change the script to specify the from address on the emails that will allow for you to recieve the bounce backs. Most php mail scripts have this function by default i suggest contacting the makers of this script to see where you can set this variable.

I'm starting to wonder if Ipower has ever done anything I ask them to. At any rate, this is still open for anyone that may know of a solution to this thread.

Thanks Steve

signed frustrated with my host.

make sure u tryed again the changes I suggested on first page (btw, I just updated it, there was a little mistake I made previosly).

if it fails, then try insert in global.php above:
Code: [Select]
$msg = "";this:
Code: [Select]
ini_set("sendmail_from", $config['site_email']);
and if it still fails, then send this to your hoster:
Quote
The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users.
(reference)


P.S. sendmail_from is what u are looking for, not SERVER_ADMIN setting ;)
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)
