Sending multiple emails from an array

[addison]

I'm setting up a messageboard type application in which a message is sent from a form, posted to a text file, and sent to several emails stored in an array. Everything works, except for the email display. Every email shows up with "root" under From and <no subject> under Subject (in Outlook Express). However, the last email in the array shows up fine. What gives?

What does your headers look like. If you post an extract from your program it will be easyer to find out what went wrong.

Here's the part that reads the emails into an array and sends them out. Thanks for the help.

// These variables read the email list.
// Set filename of email list.
$emaillist = "emailList.txt";

// Read file into array.
$recipients = file ($emaillist);

// Count the number of email addresses.
$emails = count ($recipients);

// Go through lines and send message to each email.
for ($i=0; $i<$emails; $i++) {
mail ($recipients[$i], $subject . " Messageboard", $message, "From: $name\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");
}

OK try this to send your mail instead.

for ($i=0; $i<$emails; $i++)
{
$to=$recipients[$i];
$subj=$subject." Messageboard";

$headers="From: ".$name."\n";
$headers.="Reply-to: ".$email."\n";
$headers.="X-Sender: <".$email.">\n";
$headers.="Return-Path: <".$email.">\n";
$headers.="X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers.="X-Mailer: PHP MessageBoard\n";
$headers.="Content-Type: text/plain\n";

mail($to, $subj, $message, $headers);

}

Thats the headers that worked for me. I think PHP sometimes chokes when you use \n\r. Setting the x-sender and the return path covers most email clients requirements.

Trimming the space from the end of the email addresses actually fixed it, I forgot that returns in a text file read as spaces when put into an array.

I do appreciate the header info and your time. I'm obviously a novice and had no idea. Can you recommend a good resource for php email stuff?
