SMTP Email

[Asmondien]

Hi,

 

I have contact form on my website, and I use SMTP php to send emails and my server instead of mail().function.

 

All works well, however. As it's sending the email. It keeps sending from my Gmail account to my Gmail account. 

Is there way  I can say in the code that "from" is from else where, but use gmail details to authenticate? 

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
        'port' => '465',
        'auth' => true,
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'supersecretpwrd'
    ));


$from = 'THE [email protected]';
$to = '[email protected]';
 $subject = "You don't want to know";   

Okay, I have that code. When I change the $from = it's still show from my email address.

 

Any suggestion?

With out making new email address 

 

Thanks

I suggest you stop trying, basic spam filter checks include matching the senders (From) address to the domain that it was sent from, so sending a mail through [email protected] and trying to masquerade as [email protected] will, in most cases, get your message dumped before it gets where it wants to be.
