note 53704 added to ref.mail

The most common problem people have with the mail() function is the failure to include an additional header containing the from address in the call (along with the standard from address). This commonly results in failed delivery due to spam filtering at the receiving end. The solution: set your header-from address, or use this function: <? function MAIL_NVLP($fromname, $fromaddress, $toname, $toaddress, $subject, $message) { // Copyright © 2005 ECRIA LLC, http://www.ECRIA.com // Please use or modify for any purpose but leave this notice unchanged. $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n"; $headers .= "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n"; return mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53704 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53704&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53704&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53704&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53704&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53704&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53704&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
