ok thanks. but still, how is it that
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','subject','body',"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
should produce an error message stating "custom "From:" header missing"?
and is there any reason the custom header can't be parsed, and if a
"From:" header is found, to use that instead of sendmail_from value?
thanks again.
