"from" e-mail header

[Anon]

I have written a script with php which e-mails a newsletter to several persons with the function Mail(.....).
I have no problem with the parameters address subject and message, but I can't succeed in putting my own e-mail address as the sender.
The messages are sent from "nobody".

Does anybody knows why ?
Thank you

Take a look at this code:

mail($recipient,$subject, $message, "From: $name <$email>\n");

In outlook the message comes from $name and the return email is $email..

The Sender line is being added by the Mail Tranport Agent (MTA).

The concepts of Sender and From are separate. If you do not specify a Sender, the MTA (typically sendmail on a Unix system) may add a Sender field if the mail does not appear to be coming from the user specified in the From field. Read Internet RFC822 for definitions and purposes of From and Sender.

To add a Sender line to your PHP mail formatting, or any other line, simply add it to the headers argument of the mail() function.

mail($recipient,$subject, $message,
"From: $name <$email>\nSender: A PHP automated process from $name <$email>");
