mail function and headers

Hi, i'm playing a little bit with the mail function from PHP 5.2.4 and email headers. here is a snippet of my code: > $headers = 'From: '.$email."< ".$fromname." > >\r\n".'Reply-To:'.$email."\r\n".'X-Mailer: PHP/' . > >phpversion(); if (mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers)) { > ... > } > where: $fromname = $name.",".$firstname; when i run this code, and click on button "reply-to" it works well... i mean i reply to end user email address ($email). but i can see in my "FROM-TO" header space > From: correct_email_address > [mailto:name@strange_email@including_partial_domain_name_of_mywebhosting] > > > "correct_email_address" is referencing to $email without problem. but the problem comes from "strange_email@including _partial_domain_name_of_mywebhosting". in fact, before @ i get a crazy value and why the rest (after @) i get my webhosting domain name ? can i turn this strange email address to the same as $email, in order to have "From : my_email_address@company.xxx [mailto: my_email_address@company.xxx]" ? thanks a lot, Alain ------------------------------------ Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008
