envelop-from is not specified with a mail() function.
as a result, envelop-from is set to webserver.

Please refer to Example 3 of the following URL.

If envelop-from is not correct, error mail is not delivered correctly.

Please try the following.
This is the example of a procedure which transmits error mail.

==========cut here==========cut here==========
$ telnet smtp-server 25
HELO <my-fqdn>
MAIL FROM: <envfrom(at)example(dot)com>
RCPT TO: <notexist(at)example(dot)com>
DATA
From: <mailfrom(at)example(dot)com>
To: <notexist(at)example(dot)com>
Subject: test

test

.
==========cut here==========cut here==========

When e-mail is transmitted as this example, error mail is delivered to <mailfrom(at)example(dot)com>.
However, when envelop-from is <apache(at)example(dot)com>, probably error mail will lost.
