The messages are (for those who signed up for html) part html and part text. Here are my headers: --snip-- $from = "Dotan Cohen <lyricslist@dotancohen.com>"; $subject = "LyricsList Newsletter - January 2006"; --snip-- $headers = "From: $from\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $from\n"; $headers .= "Date: ".date("r")."\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: Dotan Cohen's Homebrew PHP Mailer (http://dotancohen.com)\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n\tboundary=\"----=".rand(100000000000,999999999999)."\"\n"; --snip-- mail ($subscriber[0], $subject, $message, $headers); --snip-- $subscriber[0] is the users email address (1 is text/html preferance, 2 is IP,...). When I send it to my Yahoo address for testing, it goes through. Everywhere else (gmail.com, hotmail.com, dotancohen.com), it fails with the error that I previously described. Relevant parts of the headers that I take from mail.yahoo.com look like this: X-Originating-IP: [192.117.111.61] Return-Path: <apache@localhost.localdomain> Authentication-Results: mta144.mail.mud.yahoo.com from=dotancohen.com; domainkeys=neutral (no sig) Received: from 192.117.111.61 (EHLO localhost.localdomain) (192.117.111.61) by mta144.mail.mud.yahoo.com with SMTP; Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:40:14 -0800 Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k0BKiiYo004610 for <dotancohen@yahoo.com>; Wed, 11 Jan 2006 22:44:44 +0200 Received: (from apache@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.4/8.13.4/Submit) id k0BKihHI004609; Wed, 11 Jan 2006 22:44:43 +0200 From: "Dotan Cohen" <lyricslist@dotancohen.com> Add to Address BookAdd to Address Book Reply-to: Dotan Cohen <lyricslist@dotancohen.com> 192.117.111.61 is my home IP address (constant). Somewhere, the From information is being written over by the default apache values. Where can I change that? The email address in httpd.conf has already been changed to my address.
