php mail

[afridy]

Hello,

i am sending new account activation mail from activation@mysite.com.
but the client's mail header shows the mail has come from : my-hosting-account-name@box780.bluehost.com

i have also created an email account activation@mysite.com in cpanel

what could be wrong ?

What is the code that is sending the emails? Without code it's kind hard to determine what's wrong.

Hai Scallioxtx,

this is the header

	$headers = 'From: mysite.com' . "\r\n" .
				'Reply-To: activation@mysite.com' . "\r\n" .
					'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
	$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n";    
	$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\n";
	$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'. "\n";
	$headers .= 'X-Priority: 3' . "\n";
	$headers .= 'X-MSMail-Priority: Normal' . "\n";

You should enter the email address in the FROM header as well:

$headers = 'From: mysite.com <activation@mysite.com>' . "\r\n" .
                'Reply-To: activation@mysite.com' . "\r\n" .
                    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n";    
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'. "\n";
    $headers .= 'X-Priority: 3' . "\n";
    $headers .= 'X-MSMail-Priority: Normal' . "\n"; 

No need to add X-Mailer BTW. It doesn't do anything and I'm pretty sure PHP adds it itself too if you omit it.
