How do I set "sendmail_from"?

Hi guys,

I couldn’t get eForm to send e-mails using the mail function. After running a quick test, I was getting this error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in D:\ApacheSites\xxxxxxxxx\mail_test.php on line 2

I then found a description of the error I was having on another website and added:



To eform.inc.php, which seems to have bypassed the error. However, all contact sent through the form is of-course shown as coming from the one address I set.

The thing is, I don’t understand how to fix the error properly in eForm. What do I need to do?

Thanks,
Matt

Doesn’t eForm have a &from= parameter?

It does, but using it without the ini_set code still generates the error. However, if I use the ini_set code it seems to override the &from= parameter.

I spoke to one of the admins at my hosting provder and here is what he had to say:

You’re missing out a variable which states who the email is from (it’s an RFC 2822 requirement)

Edit your PHP file and put the following at the top of your script

ini_set ("SMTP","localhost");
ini_set ("sendmail_from","[email protected]");

Is this something I can configure through eForm? Or shall I just manually add the entries to the confg file?

Thanks,
Matt
