[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 = "[email protected]";

$fullmessage = "whatever";

$eol="\n";

$mime_boundary=md5(time());

$headers = "From: WRFRFFA <[email protected]>\n" .

"Return-Path: <[email protected]>\n" .

"Reply-To: <[email protected]>\n" .

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

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

?>

 

... when my mail arrives in my Outlook, the "From" is "[email protected]", not "WRFRFFA" or "[email protected]" (HostMonster is who hosts my site that I'm running this PHP script on).

 

Both the "From" and "Return-path" in the headers are "[email protected]", not "[email protected]", although the Reply-To is "[email protected]".

 

Attached below are the headers from the email:

Return-path: <[email protected]>

Envelope-to: [email protected]

Delivery-date: Mon, 21 May 2007 22:52:54 -0600

X-Identified-User: {878:host95.hostmonster.com:wrfrffac:wrfrffa.com} {sentby:program running on server}

 

 

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.
