RE: [PHP] AOL Email client
It is being sent from a linux box and php 4.3.1 I do not know the aol version, I will have to check with my customer. Don't know why it is in the headers...I just picked up the code today and trying to make it work for him. Mark Roberts, Roberts Computing Systems eCommerce, yeah, we do that!

If you are using the php mail function you must be passing To as the first parameter since it is not optional, so why are putting it in your headers as well?

RE: [PHP] AOL Email client
Ok, it seems to be AOL v8. I am going to set down tonight and try all these options that I have seen here and see if they fix the problem. Thanks for all your help.

RE: [PHP] AOL Email client
Here is what my header look like: $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\r\n"; $headers .= "From: ".$name." <".$email.">\r\n"; $headers .= "To: ".$myname." <".$toAddress.">\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$name." <".$email.">\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: Just My Server"; Mark Roberts, Roberts Computing Systems eCommerce, yeah, we do that!

--- Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > $headers .= "From: ".$name." <".$email.">\r\n"; My guess is that this line is what is causing your problems. Try this instead: $headers .= "From: \"$name\" <$email>\r\n"; The difference is (aside from not using concatenation) that the name is quoted, which is proper format, or at least it's how every mail client I have seen formats it. Also, you should output your $headers as a test to make sure everything is formatted like you think it is. Such a tactic might make things like this more clear. Hope that helps.

Mark Roberts, Roberts Computing Systems Webmaster Services $29.50/mo Others know a lot more about email than me, and I don't know if this your system is Windows or *x, but quite likely the mail is sent with the identity of the web server. We had this problem using the mail() function at Experthost, as we could not track the bounces, they went back to sendmail's "nobody" account, and the ones we originated could not be identified. This isn't an answer, more a musing on what could be happening. Cheers - Miles -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
