I have a script that emails out reminders to out clients and I am receiving all the bounced emails through the default server email instead of the staff's email address that was placed in the "Reply-To:" header value.

Is there a server setting that is not forwarding the bounced emails to the reply-to email or is there another way of doing this? I have a suspicion that it is a rule or setting on the server... I am using WHM 10.6.0 and cPanel 10.6.0-R147.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think there is a rule in the cPanel that lets you pipe emails to a php script, but I am not sure if this is what you ask.

I'm not sure my problem several week before is the same but often you have to use this parameter inside the mail function:
Code:
<?php
$headers 
"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: $name <$email>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP mailer\r\n";
mail ($to$subject$content$headers"-fbounce@myhost.com");
?>

note the last param after the headers
