Here is an example of that from the mail server log: > > 16:28:21.72 5 SMTPI-39408([XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]) inp: MAIL > FROM:<test@test.com> It seems like a bug.

Take a look at the test_smtp_mail.php example script. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage You also need this for the delivery: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
