How to modify Return-Path

    I’m using this plugin to send some newsletters within our company network with WP-Mail and was asked by our mail admins to fix the Return-Path in the mail-header.

    I found some hints in the module_sending.php and/or class.phpmail.php but changing it to get an idea how it works, didn’t help.

    can you give me a hint how to change the Return-Path or set it to the sender’s e-mail?

    thank you in advance,
    rolf

    Hi Rolf.

    The return path headers can be changed by going to ‘Newsletters’ -> ‘Settings’ -> ‘Email Settings’ and setting the ‘Reply to’ and Reply name’ to your preferred name and address.

    I hope this helps?

    hi and thanks for your reply.

    in my (free) version 4.0.14 the settings are located in the main section and the settings of the reply-to-stuff is set to the preferred name and address.
    nevertheless the mails were send with a header parameter Return-Rath: witch is (maybe automatically) set to the wrong admin-alias.

    so I’m still looking for a solution to set the Return-Path in the mail header – programmatically or somewhere in the GUI.

    thank you again,
    rolf

    Hi Rolf.

    Sorry for only getting back to you now.

    Please go to sola-newsletters/modules/module_sending.php and scroll down to line 309 – you’ll find a line of code that looks like this:

    $headers[] = 'From: '.$sent_from_name.' <'.$sent_from.'>';

    To my knowledge this is the only area where we change the return path when sending mail from wp_mail()

    Does this help at all?

    hi,

    nope, that doesn’t fixed it. sent_from was correctly set and in the mail header.

    I digged into it with our mail-admin and found somewhere this plugin, which solved the problem: https://www.kinamo.be/en/support/faq/correctly-setting-return-path-for-wordpress-mail-functionality

    thank you for your patience,
