This is our sendmail function:
function sendEmail($senderName, $senderEmail, $sendToAddress,
$subject, $message, $cc="", $bcc="") {
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
$this->sendEmailMessage = "Failed to send email. ";
$returnValue = false;
if(isset($senderName) && isset($senderEmail) &&
isset($sendToAddress) && isset($subject) && isset($message)){
$subject=stripslashes($subject);
$message=stripslashes($message);
$header = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\"\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Subject: ". $subject . "\r\n";
$header .= "From: ". $senderEmail . "\r\n";
if(isset($cc) && $cc !="") {
$header .= "cc: ". $cc . "\r\n";
}
if(isset($bcc) && $bcc !="") {
$header .= "bcc: ". $bcc . "\r\n";
}
$mailTo = $sendToAddress;
$returnValue = mail($mailTo, $subject, $message, $header);
$this->sendEmailMessage = "Successfully sent email. ";
}else{$this->sendEmailMessage = "One or more parameters failed. ";}
return $returnValue;
}// end of sendEmail()
The from part of the header is there and is working. The following is
part of the email notifying me of a bad sender.

MESSAGE:
Mrs. MMMMMMMMM,
=== snipit ===
Notice this is a 550 error. The server thinks I am a spammer. I have
a good to, from, and cc, but the sender information is
apache@<computer name>
Hope this helps to clarify,

Actually, to be exact, the fourth parameter of PHP's mail() function is a
string of "additional_headers". It can contain things like "From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Content-type: text/plain", and other email header
goodies.
Cheers,
