An interesting problem highlighted this, when sending mail its a good idea if available to use -fwebmaster@yourdomain.com as a parameter to sendmail. I recently found a few anti-spam mail gateways were rejecting our mails, because the from address appeared 'spoofed', yet using the -f option to sendmail solved this problem. So we now use: mail("dest@ourdomain.com","Web site enquiry","$emailtext","From: webmaster@ourdomain.com\r\nX-Mailer: server\r\nReply-To: webmaster@ourdomain.com\r\n","-fwebmaster@ourdomain.com"); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43427 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43427&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43427&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
