Re: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem
apache is definitely listed in the trusted users, as I mentioned, I can send from dozens of other domains, its just one specific domain that I can't. i'll let you know the results of sending the email from outside of php.

Re: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem
mail function returns 1(true) whether or not i'm sending to the new virtual host domain name or any random domain name. turns out sendmail function does the same thing, so it looks like it's a sendmail problem... but how is that possible if i've never configured anything for this new domain except for http virtual host config? hmm.

Re: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem
figured it out... the domain in question's dns is set to CNAME to the main domain on that server, whereas, the remaining domains are just using the A record with the IP. I changed one of the other domains to use the CNAME and it did the same thing. So looks like thats the culprit. I'll have to comb through the sendmail configuration and find out if I can reverse this behavior.

RE: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem
Sounds more like the mail server than PHP. Although weird anyway ! What mail server are you using : local/remote, smtp/sendmail/qmail ? Try using whatever method and send a mail through this server from outside of PHP with the same problem parameters ? Does that work ? It should either eliminate PHP, or point the finger ! I suspect eliminate but you never know.. That's where I think I'd start anyway. Send uz an update when you have some answers.
