mail() problems

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm writing a script that basically sends contents of a form to a specified email address.

If the mail is being sent to an @excite.com user, they are not receiving it because their servers think its spam mail. I think it's because of the headers that are sent in the mail() function. Here's what I used:

(mail($email,$subject,$theURL.$message,"From: <$CDCOEmail>\r\nX-Sender: <$CDCOEmail>\r\nX-Mailer: PHP\r\nReturn-Path: <$CDCOEmail>\r\n"))

When I sent this to a hotmail.com account, and view the headers, the RETURN-PATH isn't what I specified. It's still the apache, nobody, user. So I think this is the source of my problem.

Does anybody know why the my mail() syntax above fails to resolve to the specified email address I used in the mail() arguments?

Thanks,

Tyson

try "From: yourname <youremail>", that should avoid "Nobody" as sender

I tried that, but I still get the nobody@.... line in the Return-Path when I view the full headers through my yahoo.com mail account.

Thanks,
