Surely this can't be? I've never come accross this before?
Any ideas what's up?
Well, what I do when sending mail with a spoofed sender, I do like this:
$olduser = getenv(USER);
putenv(USER=$user_i_want_act_as_for_mass_mailing);
do
{
mail(.);
}while($there_are_more_Addresses_to_spam_at);
putenv(USER=$olduser);
Not quite sure, whether I used setenv or putenv, I'm sure U'll find out.
AND: bweare sending spam to ME ;o)
