If you mail via pfsockopen, then you specify the sender which must be
real, but you also specify the From: header which can be anything you
want.
ex:
$smtp_server = "your.smtp.server";
$port = 25;
$mydomain = "yourdomain.com";
$sender = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$recipient = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Test";
$text_content = "Hi Bar, This is a test.";
$handle = fsockopen("$smtp_server","$port");
fputs($handle, "HELO $mydomain\n");
fputs($handle, "MAIL FROM: $sender \n");
$echo .= fgets($handle,255)."\n";
fputs($handle, "RCPT TO: $recipient \n");
$echo .= fgets($handle,255)."\n";
fputs($handle, "DATA\n");
$echo .= fgets($handle,255)."\n";
fputs($handle, "To: $recipient\n");
/* NOTE THAT HERE YOU SET WHAT APPEARS IN THE FROM: PART */
fputs($handle, "From: \n");
fputs($handle, "Subject: $email_subject\n");
fputs($handle, "Content-Type: text/plain; \n");
fputs($handle, $text_content."\n\n");
fputs($handle, ".\n");
$echo .= fgets($handle,255)."\n";
fputs($handle, "QUIT\n");
$echo .= fgets($handle,255)."\n";
echo "$echo";
Works here, but results may vary.
