Re: Getting mail() to return false/0

'dude' is in fact not a user on my box, I was in fact something I choose trying to use as an example of something that was not valid. Running it again against "asdadasdsadasdadsad" returns the same result. When I do send mail that matters I include a From header, I was just trying to stick with as simple an example of what I expected not to work as possible. Ramil: I am surprised to hear that, as it directly contridicts what is in the builder.com article, but supports my reading of the manual.
