[SOLVED] Headers in "mail" function

[bass_sears]

I've been strugling with this for a while and can't figure it out. I think there might be either DNS or server settings that are affecting my use of the PHP "mail" function.

 

Using these lines of PHP:

<?

$email = "bass@wrfrffa.com";

$fullmessage = "whatever";

$eol="\n";

$mime_boundary=md5(time());

$headers = "From: WRFRFFA <newsletter@wrfrffa.com>\n" .

"Return-Path: <newsletter@wrfrffa.com>\n" .

"Reply-To: <newsletter@wrfrffa.com>\n" .

"Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\n";

mail($email, $subject, $fullmessage, $headers);

?>

 

... when my mail arrives in my Outlook, the "From" is "wrfrffac@host95.hostmonster.com", not "WRFRFFA" or "newsletter@wrfrffa.com" (HostMonster is who hosts my site that I'm running this PHP script on).

 

Both the "From" and "Return-path" in the headers are "wrfrffac@host95.hostmonster.com", not "newsletter@wrfrffa.com", although the Reply-To is "newsletter@wrfrffa.com".

 

Attached below are the headers from the email:

Return-path: <wrfrffac@host95.hostmonster.com>

Envelope-to: bass@wrfrffa.com

When I try sending to other users I get some weird stuff at the bottom of the headers, like:

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER MIME error: error: unexpected end of preamble

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.149 tagged_above=-999 required=3 tests=AWL,

BAYES_20, MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY, MSGID_FROM_MTA_ID, NO_REAL_NAME

Anyone have any clue???? Am I just an idiot???

 

Thanks.

O.K., hard to "solve" something that was, in fact, me being an idiot. I had not created the email address I was sending "from" yet.

 

DUUUHHHH.
