    <p>I'm sending emails using a PHP script and class.phpmailer.php. I need to be able to 'catch' bounces and auto-responses. I'm able to catch the bounces already. I created an alias that redirects bounces to a php script, and I parse the email there. I include some information in the original email in the headers, so I can know which emails bounced.</p> <p>The same logic should work for the auto-responses, I think the problem is that the email are not getting to the server. I already have a reverse DNS configured, pointing to the server IP address.</p> <p>This is part of how I send an email:</p> <pre><code> $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail-&gt;From = $fromAddr; $mail-&gt;Sender = $sender; $mail-&gt;FromName = $fromName; $mail-&gt;AddAddress($email); $mail-&gt;IsHTML(true); $mail-&gt;Subject = $subject; </code></pre> <p>the I add the headers, for example:</p> <pre><code> $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("From", $fromAddr)); $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("Subject", $subject)); $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("Company-State", "Florida")); $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("Company-Country", "USA")); $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("From", $fromAddr)); $mail-&gt;AddCustomHeader($mail-&gt;HeaderLine("Reply-To", $fromAddr)); </code></pre> <p>My RDNS is something like: mail2.mydomain.com. The bounces are going to "www-data". What should I add and where? something like www-data@mail2.mydomain.com?</p> <p>Tks!</p>

    1. COshouldn't autoresponses go to the same reply-to email address ? Also, check the User-Agent of the email header.

    2. COsendmail (or whatever mailer is actually handling the outgoing stuff) may not be honoring the From you're setting and forcing it to be that of the owning process, which'd be your webserver www-data. You may have to investigate how to force the smtp server to not do that, e.g. the sendmail `-f` parameter.

    3. COBounces (something went wrong on servers) should go to `$sender`, replies (mail arrives, there's just a machine of human replying) to `$fromAddr` in your example, and they are not the same thing. (See the `$additional_parameters` section in the [mail](http://www.php.net/mail) manual)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
