IMAP x-variables

[IsmAvatar]

I've written a php script that will check emails from my mailbox from a certain individual and store the information it contains on a database.

The trick now is ensuring that it is indeed coming from the certain individual. As of currently, I use $header->senderaddress, but that can easily be spoofed.

What I'm really interested in reading is the x-variables for the email, in particular, X-Email-Type-Id, X-XPT-XSL-Name, and X-user.

I did a dump of imap_fetchheader and imap_fetchstructure, but neither seemed to contain them.

the best I can get for you is $header->senderaddress

that will just display the same type of info you will receive in $header->bcc[]

oops, found something:

imap_fetchbody();

if you bone up on that, you will get everything you need. Sorry, I don't know exactly what to pass to it, but there you go.

Thanks a bunch. The arguments are the mailbox, the message number, and the part you wish to retrieve, in my case, "0" for the extended header information, which in turn indeed contains my desired x-variables.

Thanks again.
