PHP only has built-in facilities to send mail and to read mail from mail (POP3/IMAP) servers, so no, PHP cannot recieve mail, bounced or otherwise.

If you specify correct From: and Reply-to: headers in your e-mail, then you'll be able to recieve bounces through a regular mail server.

 $headers.="To: ".$ToName." <".$To.">\n";
 $headers.="Reply-To: ".$FromName." <".$From.">\n";
 $headers.="X-Priority: 1\n";
 $headers.="X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";

Well, once the correct headers are in place, then the e-mail should be bounced correctly. Then you can retrieved the bounced mail from your mail server exactly as you normally do, e.g. through your e-mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird).

Yes i know but i do not have all the diff headers

u know of a place where i can have a look at all the diff headers php can use ?

I bet it is somthing very simple but not sure wich one.

I thought it would be Errors-To:

[swirlee]

So you've tried it and it doesn't work?

Maybe try the Return-Path header.

Hi Swirlee !
I found this topics who seems to be more or less what I asked you when I created a new topic.
Sorry for repetitions !
Anyway let me say what I am looking for:
1) I send an emai from my php program to (for example) unknown@somebody.com
2) The next time I run my php program I want to check if my MAILER-DAEMON@myserver.com has received a bounced email telling that unknown@somebody.com could not be found.
3) Then in my PHP program I will check if the string "unknown@somedody.com" is contained within the text of the email received by MAILER-DAEMON@myserver.com

That is all, now first my headers:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$FromName." <".$From.">\n";
$headers .= "To: ".$ToName." <".$To.">\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$FromName." <".$From.">\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "Errors-To: <MAILER-DAEMON@myserver.com>\n";
$headers .= "ReturnPath: "MAILER-DAEMON@myserver.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer:/usr/lib/sendmail";

mail("unknown@somebody.com", $subject, $message, $headers);

As said above, by the next time I run my PHP, I can test if the string "unknown@somebody.com" is contained within the text of the MAILER-DAEMON.
Now, what is the PHP name of such text string ?

I would really appreciate any help, I know you are super expert !
Regards

No idea what you are talking about here, but let me guess, you want to find out whether the string is contained within the message that is received? You can check for it using a regular expression and ereg() or eregi() function... but again if that is not what you are looking for, please explain some more, and ill do my best to get you the info...
