Hmm, maybe so, but, if you put the $toaddr as "$name - $action
<$toaddr>" it coms back with server error..
so.. thats even worse!

Marking as duplicate, the problem is that rfc822 style addresses are
not support (in which case you just would use the $to field with the
correct address). Damn, can't find the report of the other one.

Sadly, I cant move them to a non windows one, its bad enough Im not
using ASP (they havent noticed that yet). However, I can confirm it
worked fine in 4.1.2 as I tested this, but not in 4.2.0 or 4.2.1
Unfortunately for me, I work for a company who feel the need to love
microsoft.. (personally, Id have it all running on a unix box, all
files, Email, web.. the works.. but, sadly, if microsoft make it, they
love it. So, I just dont get the choice.

The win32/mail imeplementation suffers many problems. If you need the
things working urgent it may be the time to consider moving over to
using a non-Win32 system to run your PHP applications.

For the last year Ive been writing a system which heavily relies on
Emails. To help people use the system, when it Emails them, it will
attach a name to their actual name. EG: Liz Kimber - Authoriser, or Liz
Kimber - Requester.
To do that, I use the following code
mail ($toaddr,"Subject","data","From: Purchasing System\nTo: $name -
$action <$toaddr>");
Mails used to then arrive as
From: Purchasing System
To: Liz Kimber - Authoriser
Now, they arrive
From: Purchasing System
To: Liz Kimber; Liz Kimber - Authoriser
This code worked marvelously till version 4.2.x :(( this system is due
to go live very shortly. Im trying to win my company over to PHP and I
dont want it to look naff as it does. I will have to revert to 4.1.x,
but, it would be appreciated if we can get this fixed, or at least if
Im being numb, and someone can make this work.. please..
(Mail server is exchange 2000, although I dont think this is relevant)
