PHP's mail() function

[chrispadfield]

Jim that can't be right, mail sent throug vbulletin appears as it is sent by me with my name (when i send a mailing list)

try this:

"From: [email protected]\r\nReply-to:[email protected]"

and see if that works.

You write to this guy named Rasmus Lerdorf, and ask him to change how his programming language runs under Apache.

I know what the problem is but how do I fix it?

[JimF]

I believe PHP sends all mail as if it were a user named PHP - I don't have time to confirm this or go into details, but I believe that's what your problem is.

Whenever I use the mail() function to send e-mail, it shows the sender as:

Nobody <[email protected]> on behalf of John Miller <[email protected]>

That's using a From: header.

	$from = "John Miller <[email protected]>";
	mail($email,$subject,$message,"From: $from\n");

This is for a mailing list program so I can't have it being sent as nobody!
