RE: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini

From the php website, it appears that the -fme@myaddress.com can be put in the fifth parameter of the mail() function: Example 3. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message, "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME", "-fwebmaster@$SERVER_NAME"); Note: This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3 this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it. --- "Brian S.
