Hi everyone, In November I sent a mail to this list asking how to get the mail From header right, I solved that but I still have a problem. The solution was using the -f option like this:

$frommail = "user@xxxxxxxxxx";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers","-f$frommail");

The from address is correct now but the displayed name is still www-data (or apache, depends on the server configuration). The header looks like this:

From: user@xxxxxxxxxx (www-data)

Is there anyway to change this?
Thanks, regards Chantal

$frommail = "user@xxxxxxxxxx";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers","-f$frommail");

is an extremely ugly way to pass variables IMO.
$frommail = "user@xxxxxxxxxx";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f".$frommail);

is a lot nicer IMO. Anyway, to get back to you. The "name" you want would be supplied by having the header
From: user@xxxxxxxxxx
in the following format:
From: MyName Goes Here <user@xxxxxxxxxx>
