Take this, be grateful and feel free to try Ruby. Email addresses have been changed to protect your victims. <?php // You REALLY REALLY need to be doing some validation on this variable $email = $_REQUEST['email']; // This is the address the email will appear to come from $fromaddress = 'fromaddress@example.com'; // And this is the name $fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; // This is the header separator, it *does* need the \r $eol = "\r\n"; // Now we start building the headers, starting with from $headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; // Then we *concatenate* the next header to $headers $headers .= 'bcc: <hiddenrecipient@example.com>'.$eol; // Some more headers, some pointless but I can't be arsed to argue $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; // Removed the name on this one - it's not supposed to have one $headers .= 'Return-Path: <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP '.phpversion().$eol; $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'.$eol; $headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'; $subject = 'Your free book!'; $body = '<a href="http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com/freePDF/autopilotebook.pdf">"Click ME"</a> Here is your FREE autopilot book!!!!'; mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers); ?> I've tested this on a pretty standard install of PHP 5.1.1, and it works, bcc and all. -Stut

You forgot the second part of the project, SMTP auth. Can't do it this way. Have to use fsockopen() or something to talk directly to the SMTP server.

Point me to the message where Brad mentions SMTP auth. I can't find it. Looking back at the thread you were the first person to mention SMTP auth. Brad talked about SMTP (clearly not understanding what it is) - you added the auth. Let's not go over-complicating the issue, the guy is already having some serious problems. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
