</blockquote><div>Excellent! I'll check with a colleague if he can remember what we changed in the CLI configuration file: however I think that was probably just for completeness as I think it's for when PHP is used from the command line rather than within Apache.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">You may want to check your decision… Remember that:</div><div class="gmail_extra"><ul><li>When a message has been delivered and the recipient hits "Reply" their message goes back to:</li>
</ul><ol><ol><li>The address given in a "Reply-to" header (if present; it generally isn't), else</li><li>To the address given in the (visible) "From" header.</li></ol></ol><ul><li>The recipient's reply is <b>never</b> sent back to the sender's address given in the SMTP envelope.<br>
<br></li><li>The recipient almost never sees the sender's address in the SMTP envelope as it's one of the "hidden headers", not normally displayed to the recipient.<br><br></li><li>Instead the sender address in the SMTP envelope (which the "-f" option is setting) is <b>only</b> used during message routing and up to the delivery point. Thus if the message can't be delivered because the recipient's mailbox is full or their address invalid the non-delivery report (NDR) is returned to the sender address in the SMTP envelope.</li>
</ul><div>So instead consider where you want delivery failure reports to go back to, and set the sender address in the envelope to that address. (So one possibility is a blackhole such as we use; another might be the address of the original sender so they can see there was a problem getting the dropoff notification through.)</div>
