i don't think aol accepts mail sent by php. i have a theory why. a while back, people would use open relay smtp servers to send mail to aol members asking them for their account information, and then use the from header to make the mail appear to be from an aol staff member. I have not fully tested this, but if anyone could try it out and get back to me, that would be great. by the way, lets say i send a mail using php to a yahoo account, and i put in the from header, and use blah@aol.com. Will the mail apear to be from blah@aol.com to the yahoo user? Assuming they don't check the header information. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38449 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38449&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38449&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
