Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] php mail() ignores "From" header

[Steven L. <st...@tu...>]

No sorry Don no module implementation, we used it on a php shell script we
use on campus. ie. our own pr0n spammer :)

Here is what we went by:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/core.mail.mail.php

Our code is not too different from the example at the bottom.

Hope this helps,
Steven
