Question

All,
I have the following code:

$to = $friend_email[$x];
$subject = "Subject";
$message = "This is a message";
$from = $your_email;
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

When the email sends (I’m using Godaddy’s hosting service) it says From correctly but then in gmail it says via pxnlhgxxx.prod.xhx3.secureserver.net. Is there anyway to hide the via part or make it say something like website.com? Thanks for the help.

As per the mail() docs, you use the optional 5th parameter for the function and pass in the name of the server you’d like to masquerade as:

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f [e-mail]");
