as of 4.2.3 mail() doesn't accept the 5th parameter in safe more any more. However, my mailinglist system PHPlist uses this feature to be able to process bounces to the mailinglist. As particularly ISPs run PHP in safe mode, this may become a problem when they cannot process bounces and will be blacklisted to some hosts (yahoo is known to do this) for sending too many invalid emails.

So I would, on behalve of the ISPs who host users who have installed PHPlist, ask to change this back, or make it configurable, so ISPs can have a choice.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

From PHP 5 you can force the extra parameters to be set with the ini setting "mail_force_extra_parameters", see also:
