on behalf of - on going issue



I posted the following issue a while ago...

I use mail() to send emails from my website. It all worked well untill
I switched hosts. Now, when the recepient receieves the email, instead
of just the email address in the from bar, they get my host name
followed by "on behalf of [m...@xxxxxxxxxx]".

I use all the headers correctly.

After many emails to the support service, I received the following...

**************
I've checked with our engineers, and I'm afraid that the server is
doing exactly what it's meant to be doing, and there isn't a way round
it. This is configured this way for security purposes to make it easy
to track down compromised scripts. Please be aware that the "On Behalf
Of" message will only show on some mail clients.
****************

This is true, it doesn't happen with a Yahoo or Hotmail account,
neither does it happen with my work outlook, but it does with my own
personal outlook, and other peoples outlook.

I'm trying to set up a professional site and this hosting is costing me
£100 a year so I don't want this issue as it will look
un-professional. Seems crazy as I was testing it on a free hosting
service and it all worked fine!

Any suggestions??

Thanks Mike
