Of course the bounce goes to the user "httpd" since he's the one who
sent the message in the first place!

(snail-mail analogy : if I write my friend a letter, but put your home
as the return address, I'm not going to get the letter back when it is
undeliverable)

One solution is to make 'httpd' a trusted user and have your script
use the "-f" option to set the "real" sender in the envelope.
