[BlueOnyx:08220] Email Problems

Hello 

Recently i posted to the list about a problem with php mail function not working on a new box. This was finally solved by using the following in php.ini 

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f postmaster at somedomain.com

I previously had two other boxes where this was not necessary and functioned fine with just sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail

Something has now changed on these boxes and i now have to use
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f postmaster at somedomain.com in order for the php mail function to work.

a new problem has cropped up on these two boxes. I use phplist to run three mailing lists. Previously i had bounce handling on each list managed by the script simply by setting up a mail box and specify a return path and bounce email address in the script. It worked great.

Now what happens is the return emails all come back to the postmaster email specified in php.ini, the settings in the script are being overwritten and bounce handling no longer works.

Any suggestions please. What worked fine once has stopped and has caused havoc with the mailing scripts!

Regards

Mark
