Return-Path

[cvek]

Hi!

i don't know if this is a bug, but is there a way to set Return-Path in sendmail when sending out members mail ..

tahnx

[alexrolko]

could you explain that more?

[cvek]

yep ....

i have 400 members, and i send them weekly emails via admin center. Now, after few weeks half of their mails are not valid anymore, so my ISP receive them, while there is no Return-Path configured in YABBSE. My current header in email looks like this

Code Select Expand

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from mail (axe.kelt.si [195.246.8.55])
   by mail.netsi.net (Postfix) with SMTP id A43A114A54A
   for <[email protected]>; Sat, 23 Mar 2002 20:54:21 +0100 (CET)
Received: (qmail 23113 invoked by uid 99); 23 Mar 2002 19:54:12 -0000

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Subject: Glasbeni &#268;vek: Nov Naslov
From: [email protected]
in old YABB SP1 i could enter return path in subs.pl so it looked like this

Code Select Expand

if ($mailtype==0) { open(MAIL,"| $mailprog -t"); }

   print MAIL "Return-Path: $webmaster_email\n";
   print MAIL "To: $to\n";
   print MAIL "From: $webmaster_email\n";
   print MAIL "X-Mailer: YaBB Perl-Powered Socket Mailer\n";
   print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
   print MAIL "$message";
   print MAIL "\n.\n";
   if ($mailtype==1) {
with this code (return Path) all mails would come back to me not to ISP. He is not very happy about receiving 200 mails every week instead of me .. and after all i cannot see whos mail is not valid.

In new YABBSE (which is numero 1) i cannot find where to add Return Path

btw. this is code from notification from this forum .. it has return path .. any idea?

you could add it to the headers in the sendmail function in Subs.php

You'd have to add them to the last argument.

[cvek]

yes but in SP1 it was so obvoius where to add it   but here in php i'm lost  

[cvek]

here is part of subs.php

Code Select Expand

function sendmail($to,$subject,$message,$from = null) {

    global $mailtype,$webmaster_email;
   if ($from==null){ $from=$webmaster_email; }
    $subject = stripslashes($subject);
    //Messy crap - perhaps someone can alter this later
            $subject = str_replace (""", "\"", $subject);
            $subject = str_replace ("'", "'", $subject);
            $subject = str_replace ("&", "&", $subject);
            $subject = str_replace ("&lt;", "<", $subject);
            $subject = str_replace ("&gt;", ">", $subject);
    $message = stripslashes($message);
   $mail_result = mail ($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\r\n");
    return $mail_result;
}
but ....

[cvek]

[Joseph Fung]

replace

Code Select Expand

$mail_result = mail ($to,$subject,$message,"From: $from\r\n");
with

Code Select Expand

   $mail_result = mail ($to,$subject,$message,
      "From: $from\r\n".
      "Return-Path: $webmaster_email");
