We tried it with My guess is AOL might be filtering out emails that have a Return-Path header of "nobody" or something similar. If PHP is running as an Apache module I don't think there's a way to change this header as I believe it's automatically set to the owner of Apache. Perhaps if you run the script using a CGI install of PHP using a different user AOL will accept it. Have you contacted AOL about the problem? -- Steve Werby COO 24-7 Computer Services, LLC Tel: 804.817.2470 http://www.247computing.com/
