Address literals are mostly flagged as spam these days. If you're sending mail from a machine that doesn't exist in DNS, and you don't really have a domain name, stop and reconsider - you've just raised a bunch of flags that make you look an awful lot like a zombie'd windows machine on residential DSL. That being said, sendmail.mc (or if you're brave, sendmail.cf) has ways of masquerading your domain to appear to be something than what it is. Also php has built in methods of altering the from address in email. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | The Arkansas legislature passed a law | | steve@lobefin.net | that states that the Arkansas River can | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | rise no higher than to the Main Street | | | bridge in Little Rock. | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
