mail() function

[Anon]

how to exclude the server's email address in the properties of the mail i send out using mail()??

Provide "From:" and "Sender:" lines in the mail headers. If you don't, sendmail will fill them in for you, and you may not like the results.

i'm not 100% sure what you want, but maybe this will help:

it's possible to specify additional headers as the 4th argument of the mail() function. specify a nice 'From:' and your server won't feel the need to put in his own name...

Example:
$to = "eklee_at_skali_dot_com";
$subject = "how to hide server address when sending mail with php";
$body = "that's the way you do it!";
$headers = "From: \"Phil\" <[e-mail]>";

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

look at the message source of any email to learn about other useful headers, for example Content-Type:text/html to send html mail.

hope this helps.

all of this can be found in detail @ http://www.php.net/mail .

phil!
