mail() sends to wrong address.

non_zero

Sometime my mail() function sends to the wrong address (an email address it's previously sent to).

I know this isn't a PHP error, because it inserts the correct email into the database, but mails to the wrong person, and nothing it done to alter the email variable between those two actions.

I was thinking maybe something was wrong with the sendmail queue.

Does anyone have any input?

Can we see some code.

non_zero

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tickets 
(subject, name, email, cat, phone, status, ID, priority, ip, timestamp) 
VALUES 
('" . addslashes($subject) . "', '" . addslashes($name) . "'
, '$email', '$cat', '". addslashes($phone) . "', 'open', $id, 
$pri, '$ip', FROM_UNIXTIME('$gmtime') + 0)");


$config[ticket_msg] = str_replace("%email", $email, $config[ticket_msg]);

if (($interval >= $min_interval) and $config[ticket_response]) {
        mail($email, $config[ticket_subj], 
$remove_tag . stripslashes($config[ticket_msg]) . "\n\n" . $cat[signature], "From: $cat[email]\n");
}

this is within a function that has $email as one of its parameters. It inserts the correct email into the database. It replaces %email with the correct address. It mails it to the wrong address, which is always an email from a previously opened support ticket (from table tickets) in the database.

notice how $email should not change at all between the functions mysql_query(), str_replace(), and mail(). but it DOES. and that's why i think it's a sendmail problem.
