odd php mail form and mailing list prob.

[Anon]

I have a form on my website which is supposed to subscribe a user to a mailing list. It works fine, I tested it and sent mail to myself instead of the mailing list, so i decided to change it to the real address of the mailing list and everything should work out. Right? Wrong. Here is my code,

mail("[e-mail]","","","From: $listemail\r\n");

Where $listemail is the email address of the subscriber. If I manually send a message to [e-mail], I get a confirmation email sent to me. However, when i send the mail off using my form, which recieves no errors, I don't get a confirmation, and it's as if it was never sent! The mailing list manager is ezmlm. Is there some other extra parameter I need to send in the mail command to make it recognize the email address? It really irks me because I know the form code works when sending to myself.

Thanks in advance

Try removing the "\r\n" from the From: string. Also the format of the From: (a format that has always worked for me, anyway) is as follows:

"From: My Name <[e-mail]>"
