Get bounces with mail()?
How can I get bounces when using the mail() function? I've read many things and tried many things. Nothing worked.
All help is appreciated!

Depends on the mailserver configuration you're on. For safety reasons, a lot of mailservers won't let you change the return-path when sending email via a script. We have this configuration on our servers as well. However, we have worked around this by creating a script that will check all bounced emails and forward them to the actual sender on the server.

how does your script CHECK bounced mails... or have you set it up so that bounced messages go to a certain address...?

I suppose you could set the from and reply to addresses differently

Exactly. All bounced emails go to a certain email address and the script then logs into that POP3/IMAP account and send all emails to the sender with formatted content.
