mail function header issue

[punjabi]

hi,

im using the mail function as follows

$to = $email;

$subject = "Welcome";

$mailmessage = "blah";

                                                $headers = "From:mysite.com";

mail($to, $subject, $mailmessage, $headers);

 

The problem is that in the sent mail the from header shows up as :[email protected]

How do I get rid of the hosting company stuff?

From is supposed to be an email address. You get an email address from another email address, not from a domain name.

you need to have "\r\n";

 

<?php
$to      = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Thanks for the info guys:

How do I prevent this from showing also:

mailed-by: gator503.hostgator.com

 

Another question: What is the X-mailer command for?

I googled it but all the info went over my head.

 

Thanks in advance.
