Michi,
  Try having your sysadmin add this line to your apache virtualhost entry:
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail
-fYourEmailAddress <email protected> -t -i"
(dont forget the '-f' before your email address...)

this sets the sendmail envelope headers to be 'originating' from your
address, instead of something like userrunningapache <email protected>,
which inevitably returns bounced emails to root...

Let me know if that works,

no, this header (as well as Sender:) is being overwritten by the ISP's
sendmail!!!
and the recipient would see this header in the mail!!!
I don't want the recipient to see his address in To: nor the Return-Path:
!!!
First I thought this is not possible, but it works great with perl!

any idea???

thanks
michi
