Hm, I tried it from the commandline - which works as expected. When I do
it from PHP, however, exim sets the return-path to the local user instead
of the address specified as "from:" address . From rtfm I understand I
could unset return_path_remove and specify a 'correct' return path from
PHP.
I doubt that this would help more than screw (other) things up, though.
Any ideas?
