Can we set a return path for bounced emails?

I'm attempting to have bounced emails go to another email address, however, they are being sent to the email being sent from. This is what I've done (at the bottom of test_smtp.php:

array(
"From: Myreturnemailaddress",
"Reply-To: Myreturnemailaddress",
"Return-Path: Myreturnemailaddress",
"To: $to",
"Subject: TEST",
"Date: ".strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
),

Bounced messages are still being sent to the original SMTP provider email address that I've sent the email from. Can you suggest how I can change this? This can be done (and works) with the traditional PHP Mail Function:

mail("[email protected]", "subject", "body of message", "From: [email protected]", "[email protected]");

The part of the code that does this is "[email protected]".

Any help would be appreciated.

The Return-Path header is irrelevant. It is set by the SMTP server, not by the SMTP client sending the message.

You should use the MIME message class instead in conjunction with the SMTP to set the protocol information correctly using the Return-Path. It does the necessary emulation to make the messages bounce to the address you specify with that header.

phpclasses.org/mimemessage

This question is a little bit old, but maybe someone like me looking for a solution.
Just set the $from address in the SendMessage method to your bounce address and in the header array you set the real from address.
The address in the $from variable is set as MAIL TO address in the envelope which is used by the smtp server as return-path.
Example:

$smtp->SendMessage(
'[email protected]',
array(
$to
),
array(
"From: [email protected]",
"To: $to",
"Subject: Testing Manuel Lemos' SMTP class",
"Date: ".strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
)
