The To: parameter technically is only required to accept one (1) email. Many mail programs will accept multiple recipients there and DWIM and Cc: them. Your mail program is apparently not one of those. The Cc: thing with the extra headers should work on all compliant mail servers... $headers = "Cc: and@you.com\r\n"; $headers .= "From: trond.straume@online.no\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-to: trond.straume@online.no\r\n"; mail("to@you.com", "subject", "content", $headers); Note that \r\n is spec, but many mail programs also accept \n only and DWIM. I'm guessing yours doesn't and that's what messed you up...
