If the message bounces (recipient's mailbox full, server down, whatever the reason) it gets delivered to that address. They serve different purposes.I will try this but I do not understand why it should work. I have a 'From:...' entry in my headers. Why is this not being used as the primary from address and why is 'nobody@myserver.com' being added instead as the first from address ? In other words, I can understand if I supply no 'From:...' header entry that a default 'nobody@myserver.com' would be used but I do not understand why it is used even when I supply a 'From:...' header entry.Any light anyone can throw on the 'nobody@myserver.com' address would be most welcome.It is using the apache user @ your host name as the default. Try this: ini_set('sendmail_from', 'whatever@wherever.com');
