Most peculiar... Your solution seems to work, Ozz, but in a most unorthodox manner...
Your method allows the email to be sent "from" pspicer (as far as the SMTP server is concerned), but the $header line rewrites who the message is from on the receiving end. While not the solution I was expecting, this will do quite nicely. Thank you very much! On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 7:55 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
