Works for me...

$from = 'digital.tarsier@gmail.com';
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: $from\r\n";
mail($from, 'Test', "This is a test.\r\n", $headers);

Note however, that your configuration of sendmail (or whatever is in
php.ini) could probably be configured to not accept a Return-Path
header...

CAN you run sendmail from the command line, as the PHP User, and get
Return-Path: to work?

If not, then PHP can't do it either.

That may have been the whole purpose of the tutorial...

Or, perhaps, the point was that for a static Return-Path: you could
set it in php.ini just as you would from the command line.
