note 78242 added to function.mail

There was a comment that mail("User Name <username@email.com>","Subject Here",$msg,"From: us@mysite.com"); does not work. I've always used that and never had any issues - from Linux servers. I don't see how this could be different in IE vs Firefox; I've always gotten the same result in both. Just tried it on a Windows server and got this as a bounce back: <User Name <username@email.com>: x.x.x.x does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 Requested action not taken: 550 No such recipient Giving up on x.x.x.x. (Details changed to protect the innocent/guilty (for using a Windows server)) Took me a while to find the bounce until I used ini_set('sendmail_from', 'my@account'); So it is probably trying to deliver to "User Name <username" instead of simply "username". ---- Server IP: 203.220.0.234 Probable Submitter: 210.15.202.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78242 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78242 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78242 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
