No problem - glad I could help. This may provide a little more information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php The section under Additional Parameters says this: <quote> The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional flags as command line options to the program configured to be used when sending mail, as defined by the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail option. The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users. </quote> This may provide a little more information - the user did the same thing I recommended: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#104594 Hope that helps. Regards, Ozz. (BTW - sorry for the double post earlier.
