Hello Guys, to be short: 1. what I'm doing: I need to send some email recipients of which are some users from a database. (this part perfectly works) What I care about is that when they receive the email they see 'J-Door Newsletter' in their from field, not our email address ( 'newsletter@j-door.com' <mailto:'newsletter@j-door.com'> ) 3. how I'm doing it: below is the PHP code followed by what message header looks like on received email. <snip> $from = '"' . $POSTED['from_name'] . '" <' . $POSTED['from_email'] . '>'; mail( $rec['email'], stripslashes($POSTED['subject']), stripslashes(str_replace('%name%', $rec['name'], $POSTED['body'])), "FROM: $from \nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=$encode \nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" ); </snip> </snip> Received: from japaninc.net ([210.229.233.105]) by exc-tyo-01.lincmedia.co.jp with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2650.21) id DZ8G4JTZ; Fri, 2 Feb 2001 16:10:11 +0900 Received: (from nobody@localhost) by japaninc.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA10798; Fri, 2 Feb 2001 16:01:03 +0900 Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2001 16:01:03 +0900 Message-Id: < 200102020701.QAA10798@japaninc.net <mailto:200102020701.QAA10798@japaninc.net> > To: maxim@j-door.com <mailto:maxim@j-door.com> Subject: Message Body [Will be sent exactly as you see it in this box]: FROM: "J-Door Newsletter" < newsletter@j-door.com <mailto:newsletter@j-door.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit </snip> It all looks alright to me, however in from field of my email client I still see ' newsletter@j-door.com' <mailto:newsletter@j-door.com'> instead of 'J-Door Newsletter' , What am doing wrong?
