   Setting an envelope address (-f $from) is correct from more points of view.

   • receiving MTA puts this address into message as a Return-Path header and uses it for bounce messages (mailbox full, mailbox does not exist, ...)
   • receiving MTA uses envelope address for SPF policy evaluation (not sure it's standard, at least GMail does it) which is todays quite important

   @zabous Your problem can be on more levels. Default PHP sendmail command is sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i. Maybe your hosting modified it, should be seen in php info.

   The sendmail command is quite UNIX standard and many non-sendmail MTA emulates it. Maybe it is not full compatible.

   Or sending MTA does not allow $from to be envelope address. Such error could be found in mail log, not sure you can access it.

   I see my phpinfo() that "sendmail_path" on my hosting is set to "/usr/bin/msmtp -C /etc/msmtprc -t --read-envelope-from"
   It works fine without ' -f' param.
   @milo is there some problem in this setting?

   I cannot access mail log - should I try to ask my provider for my mail logs?

   From msmtp man page, parameter --read-envelope-from ensures same behaviour. I cannot test it but probably additional -f is evaluated as an error.

   This is hard to solve in some automatic way. Anyway, I think passing -f is correct in most cases. Possible solutions in my mind:

   • add SendmailMailer::setEnvelopeFrom(bool) or introduce __construct() params
   • somehow detect it from sendmail_path INI setting, but there are many sendmail clones

   Or you can try to use SmtpMailer, there will be probably available localhost:25 SMTP connection.

   Parameter -f is correct in most cases? I'm afraid that's not enough for general library.
   In my opinion, it is better to leave the -f parameter to the developer using the library.

   Thanks for the advice with SendmailMailer::setEnvelopeFrom(bool). That can be helpful, but I cannot find this function in SendmailMailer.

   Is there another way to turn off adding the -f parameter?

   Yes. It is correct to set envelope address to From header.

   Thanks for the advice with SendmailMailer::setEnvelopeFrom(bool). That can be helpful, but I cannot find this function in SendmailMailer.

   It is only an idea how to solve it by pull request.

   Is there another way to turn off adding the -f parameter?

   No. Send pull request with explanation.
