There is an item in your php.ini sendmail_from string Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under Windows. If you look at the docs for mail(), you'll see that there are also examples of using the fourth argument to mail() for extra headers, including the From: header. I am not sure whether using From: under Windows works in lieu of the php.ini entry. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! Quod subigo farinam
