How to rewrite or set the Return-Path in cakePHP Email Component?

I'm using the cakePHP email component for sending mails from my application. Now the return-path has something like [email protected]

How can I set or rewrite the Return-Path value in emails when using the cakePHP Component?

I know how to do it when sending mails via 'mail' in PHP but the cakePHP email component seems to missing such a feature... or am I missing something? :)

Solution

  • There's an attribute called EmailComponent::return that is the return path for error messages. Note that this is different than the replyTo attribute.

    $this->Email->return = '[email protected]';
