Re: php sendmail_from

Actually, you can send an email from explicit email addres without modifying htaccess or php ini. In simple words, PHP uses MTA (like postfix or sendmail) to send email to another email address. An email consist of header, body, and mime (for example an attachment). Sender, receiver, Subject, and other parts of message are laid in header. Body is used to store the message. We can use PHP to write the header of message so we can change sender email address. For example: <?php $to = 'nobody@example.com'; $subject = 'the subject'; $message = 'hello'; $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> You can see the example above from PHP manual.
