Return-Path for bounced e-mail

[aas1611]

Hi all,

The following is my PHP code for sending e-mail:

$header  = "From:abo@versicherungsjournal.de<Registrierung Versicherungsjournal> \n";
$header .= "Return-Path:abo@versicherungsjournal.de<Registrierung Versicherungsjournal> \n"; 
$header .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 \n"; 

if (mail("$email",$subject,$mailtext,$header)) {
...

I have made a few tests, but up until now I haven't received any emails reporting the unknown e-mails. It is supposed to go back to the email on Return-Path, right? (in this case, abo@...)

Does that mean my code is wrong, or it takes a while to receive the emails?

If my code looks weird or wrong to you, can you give me suggestion to fix it?

Thanks
Andre

Do you want to set a Return-Path or a Reply-To?

I just want to set an e-mail (as a return adresse), where the mail system sends an information back If the email I send to (receiver) is unknown.

All I understand, Return-Path is for a bounced email, while Reply-to is when the receiver already got the email and then clicks the reply button.

so?
