php mail() sent as [email protected]

if I do the following in a php page

Code:

if (mail($ADDR,"Testing","This is a test"))

the mail gets sent from [email protected]. I assume this is happneing becuase the httpd server is running as the apache user? Is there any way to stop this so that the email is sent automatically from the domain the page is being run in?

I know you can add the $header parameter to the mail function with a "From:" statement in it, but is there anyother way.

Thanks,

You can change the sendmail_path of php.ini
so that you add [email protected]
to php.ini in general or you set this value via php_admin_value in the httpd.conf per vhost.

 

So for each domain do I need to add this to the apache directives:

php_admin_value sendmail_path '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i [email protected]'

Does that look correct?

I tried the sendmail_from parameter, but that didn't do a thing. Don't know why?

Cheers,

If you add a "from" email address in the PHP mail() , it will use that instead of the [email protected]
You will need to add it in the "headers"

Code:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "[email protected]";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

 

That works great, Thanks.

Is the reason its being sent by apache due to the fact that apache is the user that is running php?

If I setup my system differently so that php was running using something like suphp would the email go out via the owner of the file rather than the apache user?

Thanks,

If you set the Header From, just remember that this is only the X-Header, i mean it is never the less displayed in the email riht, but in the header you can see the "original" E-mailadress anyway, just fyi.

 

re

I there.
I have the same issue when sending email using php. I also tried the example by the user "edge" with no luck. What else can I try? Thank you

Code:

Feb 13 06:55:30 mailer postfix/qmgr[1273]: 4BB1E1D3A4: from=<[email protected]>, size=473, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Feb 13 06:55:33 mailer postfix/smtp[2507]: 4BB1E1D3A4: to=<[email protected]>, relay=smtp.wugnet.com[221.52.0.17]:25, delay=3.8, delays=0.86/0.03/1.8/1.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 OK id=1U5Vyp-0006Ba-G0)

 

You can try by adding the -f option to it.

Somtehing like this: mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,"-f".$from);
