If $email contains a newline, or a \r\n, then you might see that...
Because your Bcc: $email\r\n turns into:
Bcc: junk\n
\r\n
Message-Id: <>
At which point you're not in the heades any more because your 'email'
forced you out of them with a blank line.
How 'clean' are the emails in your database?... :-)
If they've come from a web signup form, and you weren't validating the
input, then I guarantee you've got spammers trying to use your form to
send out junk by forcing newlines and the headers THEY want into your
'email' field...

RE: [PHP] RE: header data being inserted into message
That did not work, however what does seem to work is changing all my \r\n to
just \n ... which I found after going over the php docs again at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php ... "Note: If messages are
not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer
agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF
is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not comply with RFC
2822."
... we're using FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE so that must be in the category of one
of the "poor quality Unix mail transfer agents"
Thanks for the input!

Subject: RE: [PHP] RE: header data being inserted into message
what you're showing indicates that an MTA is getting confused about
the structure of the message and putting the message-id into the
body, rather than header.
you need to have a cr/lf (null line) between the header and the body,
otherwise the/an MTA can get things mixed up. so, when you exit your
bcc loop write out (another) "\n".

RE: [PHP] RE: header data being inserted into message
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the response, however I do not want to have to use any special
classes or other software... I want to get it working just using the basic
php functions, which should be possible as far as I understand the php
documentation... if I keep finding that I can't get it working then maybe
I'll go to majordomo2.
Anyone else have some advice for me here?
Thanks,
Ben

[PHP] RE: header data being inserted into message
Hello all,
I am having a problem using PHP's mail function to send mail via BCC to
multiple recipients. Here's my code;
--
$get_emails = pg_exec($dbh,"SELECT email FROM mailing_list WHERE conf = 1");
$count = pg_numrows($get_emails);
$bcc_count = $envelope_count = 0;
$bcc_limit = 200;
$subject = $body = 'test message';
$from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$header = "From: $from\r\n";
for($x = 0; $x < $count; $x++) {
$email = pg_result($get_emails,$x,0);
if($bcc_count >= $bcc_limit) {
if($x > 0) {
$envelope_count++;
mail($from,$subject,$body,$headers);
}
$headers = $header . "Bcc: $email\r\n";
$bcc_count = 1;
} else {
$headers .= "Bcc: $email\r\n";
$bcc_count++;
}
}
# send the last envelope
mail($from,$subject,$body,$headers);
--
The problem is that for some recipients they get a message body like this;
--
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
