The SendMail function that is used for Win32 platforms doesn't extract the "From:" header address to use as for the SMTP MAIL FROM command.  As a result any mail bounces go to the "sendmail_from" php.ini option instead of to the sender.  This is handled correctly in the PostHeader function (which doesn't add "From:" if it is already there), but not in TSendMail.  The patch for win32/sendmail.c below allows TSendMail to use the e-mail from address if it is available, and default to the sendmail_from setting otherwise.

Can you post a unified diff against latest CVS HEAD to php-dev@lists.php.net please ?

Fixed in CVS.

I've reverted the patch. The sendmail_from ini setting is for setting the return path, which can be different from the From: header in fact.
