i am using email list to send email, that '$em' is consiting email address to whom this email will go.

but Reply-to part is working then why not 'Return-path' ???

Please tell me some solution, this method is very important for me. MIME::Lite is very good and easy. Return path is important. can we use old and new email code combined with to get both the effect properly? is this possible? on old code return path at the begining. on new code its not working. can you kindly execute the code on your machine with a single email address in place of "$em" and checj whether its working or not?

Thanks.

You probably just need to add the brackets <> to the return path email address:

Return-Path => '<vikram\@k****ij.com>';

[sujata_ghosh]

Code:

$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
  Return-path =>'<sujata@k****ij.com>',
        To        => $em,
        From      =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        Reply-To    =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        Subject   => $subject,
  Type   =>'text',
  Data   => $message 
    );
    $msg->send; # send via default

i did above then also its not wokring, it not taking the return path at all.

i tried this also:

Return-path =>'<sujata\@k****ij.com>',

but no use.

Check the headers of an email you sent using MIME::Lite and see what the return-path header is being set as. I think by default it is set as the senders email address, but it should be set to whatever you define it as in the options hash of the new() method.

[sujata_ghosh]

the return path value is : Return-Path:k****ijc@srv1.k****ij.com

this is default value when ever any return path does not work, email go to this root email address. now also it working and biounce email going to it only.

Yes, the problem was there also on old code that is why i used this one, because then also its not taking velue in 'Return-path' so i used this:

Code:

open MAIL, "| $mail_prog -finrreturn\@k****ij.com" || die "I was not able to open the mail program<BR>contact the server's technical administrator.<BR><BR>If this is not admin, please let him/her<BR> know about this problem.";
print MAIL "To: $em\n";
............................
close MAIL;

als i notice that return path should at the top of the header code then only it work, but this time its not. i thing it has some problem in syntax that is why it not taking and as well as not working.

i did this with bracket and without bracket '<>' but ressult is same:

Code:

  $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
  Return-path =>'sujata@k****ij.com',
        To        => $em,
        From      =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        Reply-To    =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        Subject   => $subject,
  Type   =>'text',
  Data   => $message 
    );
    $msg->send; # send via default

that is why i asked you can we combine both the code so that return path work?

Thanks again.

I think I have helped you as much as I can. To me, your code looks like it should work. I simply do not know why it doesn't.

Hi!

yes you have helped a lot and teach me a new email process to use. finally i got the solution, return path is working now and here it is:

Code:

   $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
        From      =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        To        => $em,
        Reply-To    =>'Vikram Murarka <vikram@k****ij.com>',
        Subject   => $subject,
   Type   =>'text',
  Data   => $message
    );
$msg->attach (
        Type      => 'application/msword',
        Encoding  => 'base64',
        Path      => '/home/k****ijc/www/com/colour of money 26may07.doc'
) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";
    $msg->send("sendmail", "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -finrreturn\@k****ij.com");; # send via default

i got it at here:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/MIME-Lite/lib/MIME/Lite.pm

sendmail and mime lite can be combine according to example at here.

Thanks again.
