Bug #3022 Updated: mail() incorrectly parses extra headers

ID: 3022 User Update by: maarten@nl.linux.org Status: Open Bug Type: Misbehaving function Description: mail() incorrectly parses extra headers This works: mail("maarten", "subj", "body","From: someone <someone@domain.com>"); This doesn't: mail("maarten", "subj", "body","From: some.one <someone@domain.com>"); Note the dot in the 2nd line. The error message my MTA gives me:The following annotated headers illustrate where the error(s) occurred: Error in "From" header address: some.one<someone@domain.com> ^-missing end of mailbox Apparently, mail() leaves out a required space if the "From: " name has a dot in it. UPDATE: I use zmailer. sendmail seems to ignore the problem. Still, according to RFC822, there should be a space. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=3022
