Re: [PHP] Re: mail header questions

Hi Manuel,

1) I can't get the From header right, when I receive the test mail the
sender is apache

There is From: and From . From is not a real header. It is just set by
some MTA to the return path address and is also used as separator in
mailbox files with multiple messages in the mbox format.

If you can set the Return-Path address, you will most likely change what
appears in the From header.

I forgot to mention that I can't set the return-path either.

You may want to try this using the MIME message composing and sending
class, that lets you set the Return-Path header and can also detect the
right line break sequence for your platform.

That's a good idea, but I would still like to know what I am doing wrong in my
own script.

Thanks for your help

Regards,
Manuel Lemos
