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".
