If it's not for spam I didn't say anything ok? :-) </off record> > Hi, > > I have problem. > > Everytime that I want to send email using a PHP script from my server, it > automatically appends the domain name of my server to the "From:" line. > > else > { > $mailheaders .= "From: XYZ company\n"; > $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n"; > $mailheaders .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; > $remarks .= "<br><br>$items"; > mail("yungp@netvigator.com", "quotation enquiry", $remarks, $mailheaders); > ?><img src="images/thank_you.gif"><? > } > } > > As you can see from the example above , I use XYZ company , but in the > email that I receive it comes out as XYZ company@ns.visors.com.hk. > > It automatically appended the domain name to the end of it. > > How can I avoid this? > > Thanks. > > Peter
