Change default "From" email using php mail() function

[Scolpy]

Hello!

How can I change the default email "From", when using

mail();

function in case you don't provided the "From Email" parameter.

Now, in my server the default From email is:
Username@Hostname

and I saw that in other servers it's:
Username@Domain


Anyone know how can I change this?

Thanks!

I'm guessing youre running PHP-CGI?

My suggestion would be to use SMTP.

My suggestion would be to use SMTP.

Mine too.

But anyways did you check: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Check "Example #2 Sending mail with extra headers."

Some (old) pre-made scripts only use the mail() function though...... But SMTP would be my advice too.

I also took a look, and that line alone didn't removed the on behalf of. When I added no_local_from_check, it did work.

That's works for me even I didn't add that line(no_local_from_check).

Hey!

Sorry for bouncing this thread, but now some customer told me that it's now adding Username@Domain, but still it's showing Username@Hostname
(the template in Outlook 2010: "Username@Hostname as name Username@Domain").

How can I fix that?

Thanks a lot for your help guys
