Sending an email?

[Napster]

is it possible to send an email with a username... becuase mail() from nobody (what php uses) isn't enabled.

Currently on my script, I have it to send an email and it goes like this

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: [email][e-mail][/email]");

But when it sends the email, it ends up not sending.

Nobody is the process name linux uses to control sendmail. You would have to set a username name, like root or timmy, to control the sendmail process to get around your problem.

Although I doubt your host will allow this. If your host doesn't allow sendmail, then it's time to find a new host. Just my opinion.

What do you configure in the server to allow sendmail to work?

What username you mention? Is it the name that appears as the sender? Then if yes, try this one:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['contact']))
{
	$name = strip_tags($_POST['name'], '');
	$email = strip_tags($_POST['email'], '');
	$subject = strip_tags($_POST['subject'], '');
	$message = strip_tags($_POST['message'], '');

$myemail  = "My Name <[e-mail]>" . ", " ; 
$myemail .= "My Name <[e-mail]>" . ", " ; 
$myemail .= "My Name <[e-mail]>";

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

/* additional headers */
$headers .= "From:" . $name. "" . "<" . $email .">\r\n";

$headers .= "Cc: [email][e-mail][/email]\r\n";

mail($myemail, $subject, $message, $headers);

exit;
}
?>

Look closely at the From headers.
