I am trying to set up sendmail to send from the php function mail().
I have looked through some of the questions and guides on this site, but cannot see anyone encountering my particular problem. I cannot specify the from address.
All mail seems to come from *@d1stkfactory rather than *.mydomain.
For example: <?php $to = ‘myemailaddress’; $subject = ‘What more tests’; $message = ‘Yeah, I suck at this.’; $headers = ‘From: server@mydomain.co.uk’ . “\r\n” . ‘Reply-To: server@mydomain.co.uk’; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
The email comes through from server@d1stkfactory Any ideas?

Sorry to drag up this old thread, but, what if the server has multiple domains that all post out email.
