Please Help: PHP Mail From problem

[Vball]

I am sending email using Mail successfully with the following exception:

The "from" address defaults to the email address for the site administrator.

Here is the code I am using:

$mail_to = $rsRecipients->Fields('emailAddy');
        $mail_subject = "Update";
        $mail_body = stripslashes(strip_tags($txtMessage)); 

    $from_name = "FromMe";
    $from_email = "[e-mail]";
    $headers = "From: $from_name<$from_email>\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: <$from_email>\n";


if ( mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $headers) ) {
                    $emailStatus = "You message has been successfully sent. A copy of it is shown to the right.";
                    }
            else    {    $emailStatus = "There was a problem sending your email, please return to the previous page and try again.";
                        $emailStatus .= "If this problem persists, please contact your system administrator.";
                    }

I have tried several variations, but the mail From still comes out as From: the siteadmin at thedomain.com

TIA!

Try this:

$headers = "From: $from_name<$from_email>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <$from_email>\r\n";

I had the same problem. I was reading the email address from a file and since the address was the last field it had the \n appended to it when I read it in.

See if you have an invisible character on the end of your email address and remove it.

That worked for me
