Maybe worth talking with you host to see if they're seeing any bounce back.. or bounce back messages in their mail.logs.
Starting from square one. I'm thinking that we're 'off' on the semantics. In the above 'original' quote I'm saying they may be bouncing back to apache. When I'm saying that, I'm meaning that the email is bouncing to the local user 'apache'. In this case you would see the bounced email in the apache's homedir. If waydawn set an improper TO value in his PHP script.. then they would eventually bounce back to apache's home dir, and he would not receive the email to the correct TO value. This was just a debug option to help find the 'problem' why he's not receiving mail.
Are we getting confused because you are thinking that I'm saying the apache process is aware of the bounce? I understand that the apache process will not be aware of the bounce, but the Return-Path of the original email would eventually send it to apache's homedir.

Actually, my mail server is set up pretty standard. Mail rarely goes to apache's homedir.. only on 'bounces' from webapps. It's helps solve the query.. if waydawn misconfigured his email script.... that's all.
