Hi all,
This may not be a PHP issue, but I was hoping someone might know where to
look. I have a web app that a client purchased which sends an email using
PHP's "mail" function. If it sends a message of the format: js****@example.com <John Smith>, it arrives with a from line looking like
this:
From: js****@example.com Jo********@server.domain.com
Where the from name has gotten reformatted to look like an email address.
Where should I look for the cause of this? Is it sendmail.cf? PHP.ini?
Httpd.conf?
Thanks,
Kevin 5 1365

Btw, enclose the name in double quotes if it contains other characters
than a-z: "J. Smith" <js****@example.com>

Whatever you enclose in < > chars is treated as an e-mail address. When
mail servers find an address that is not a FQDN (fully-qualified domain
name) they consider it a local recipient and they normally autocomplete the
adress appending server's main domain name.
As Ewoud points you probably mean this:
"John Smith" <js****@example.com>

Thanks to both of you. That was it. Looks like the authors of the
application got their mail format backwards.

Wrong way around. Try: John Smith <js****@example.com>
It's also a good idea to put quotes around the name part eg
"John Smith" <js****@example.com>
