I am sending an email from my website, and in GMail it's showing:
mailed-by: prs.ionicware.com
As I am using Toasted Penguin as hosting.

Is there a way I can change that to my website URL or something like that via a parameter or something?

Thanks

Check out the parameters at PHP Mail.

When using the mail function, the From header must be set. If you do not explicitly set it, it will use the server's default [prs.ionicware.com]. You can set it either by

$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

or by defining the the sendmail_from directive in your personal php.ini file.

But that sets the email address it's emailed from right? (So if anyone presses reply it will reply to that email) but the mailed-by in GMail is not the from field. I already set the from field as my email.

Where is the php.ini?

What's that?

You have to make/define your own php.ini. Where is the mailed-by label in gmail? If I know what you are actually talking about, I can probably answer your question better :)

well it was to jordan, but here.

at one time, I had a mail script, worked PERFECT!, sent HTML, and would be sent from Whoever@analyzethathost.com

then something happened, and it changed, jordan and I worked on it for a while, he reset everything, but now, it sends from whoever@prs.ionicware.com, and it will show the HTML in the body

Sure. See the attached pictures. This is a mailing list, and I sent it to two email addresses one is fine and the other one came with that 'mailed-by' field.. I don't know why.. it's the same script and both were sent at the same time.

Not actually my problem. Your is showing in the from field....

I'd also like to point out that it is working correctly from CodeCall to gmail. I suppose it has something to do with the PHP coding - TcM, can you post your email code?

send_mail($row[email],$title,$content,$checkhtml);

This code in a loop (as it's a mailing list)

Try

send_mail($row[email],$title,$content,$checkhtml,"-f <your email here>");

[TcM]

I have my email stored as a variable in the admin panel. how do I include the -f if I will use the variable? And isn't that the from field?
