mail() - fifth parameter in SAFE MODE

Hi.

I want to send mail with the function mail().
I am on a shared server in SAFE MODE.

When I send a mail I get the message:
"SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE"

But I need the fifth parameter, because it is the only way to set my
own Return-Path (instead of nobody@server....)

I tried this too:

echo ini_set("safe_mode",0);
mail($admin, $subject, $message, $head, "-f$email"))
echo ini_set("safe_mode",1);

but it does't work.

Is there any suggestion?

Thank you for replying.

If you could simply ini_set() anything, then safe mode would be a
joke, right? And in safe mode you will not be able to use the flags
argument of mail(). Read php.net/mail
