Question

I’m on a server that requires the errrors-to header to be set when using PHP mail() function. Popular applications such as WordPress don’t specify this header (at least not everywhere) – so the email isn’t sent (instead I’m sent a message saying there was an error sending the email because it lacked the header). The server host says this is not something they can change for the system. I do not have access to the .ini file. Is there something I can do about it?

yes, by setting the mail-header you need with the normal mail()-function:

<?php
$to      = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
    'errors-to: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

In wordpress, you can overload the wp_mail()-function to include that header.
