Well, what I do when sending mail with a "spoofed" sender, I do like this: $olduser = getenv("USER"); putenv("USER=$user_i_want_act_as_for_mass_mailing"); do { mail(.....); }while($there_are_more_Addresses_to_spam_at); putenv("USER=$olduser); Not quite sure, whether I used setenv or putenv, I'm sure U'll find out. AND: bweare sending spam to ME ;o)
