Paweł, I use the scripts from PHPguru.org. The rules of what you can include in headers are stated in the RFC documents - always worth a quick scan. Sometimes it seems a good idea to leave To: blank and put everyone under Bcc: for privacy reasons. A good practice is to send yourself a copy of the msg so that you can have some idea that it 'got out' - particularly if you use an external address which simply forwards back to your in-house email server (a la Yahoo etc) for the purpose. You can, of course, invent a suitable receiver name/title to use in the To:, eg ListNm Subscriber - but pay careful attention if you do/do not want subscribers to conduct correspondence with this account/name! PHP's Mail() seems to have a somewhat 'fixed' view of how things will be done. I suspect that if you miss out something it is expecting, eg the To: field, it stops cooperating. Recommend you manufacture and insert a To: entry, and keep all else in the Bcc:, and see if that works for you... =dn
