That did not work, however what does seem to work is changing all my \r\n to just \n ... which I found after going over the php docs again at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php ... "Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not comply with RFC 2822." ... we're using FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE so that must be in the category of one of the "poor quality Unix mail transfer agents" Thanks for the input! -----Original Message----- From: replies-lists-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:replies-lists-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:29 AM To: ET Support Subject: RE: RE: header data being inserted into message what you're showing indicates that an MTA is getting confused about the structure of the message and putting the message-id into the body, rather than header. you need to have a cr/lf (null line) between the header and the body, otherwise the/an MTA can get things mixed up. so, when you exit your bcc loop write out (another) "\n". ------------ Original Message ------------ > Date: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 10:52:10 AM -0400 > From: ET Support <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: Richard Correia <php5perl@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: RE: header data being inserted into message > > Hi Richard, > > Thanks for the response, however I do not want to have to use any > special classes or other software...
