email at bluehost

[dumdumsareyum]

I have a site hosted on bluehost that I am trying to send mail with using php. The mail is hosted on an exchange server. The email I am trying to send from and to are both hosted on this server. When I can send from an account hosted on this exchange server, but not TO an account on this server. I thought it was something wrong with the mail server settings, but I tested it on a site I have through another hosting account and the emails are sent just fine. This led me to believe it was a hosting issue. I am using ini_set(SMTP, XXXX), however I noticed on the site through the other hosting company this need not be set at all and mail is still sent and received with the desired account. Also, when sending with the bluehost site, even though I have set the "from" email to be the desired email account on the exchange server, when a message is received on another account(like a gmail, yahoo, etc., not the one on the exchange server) it appears as being from a box for my user account on bluehost.com. Thanks.

The only email addresses that work on BlueHost are those where an account or forwarder actually exists.

The forwarding account is working for the most part (instead of coming from info@mydomain.com it comes from myusername@box#.bluehost.com) This would be fine, except when I am trying to send mail TO info@mydomain.com, the mail does not go through. I can send the email to info@someotherdomain.com and it will go through. However, when the site is on a different domain name , it works ok. All email accounts being used are real email accounts that are currently receiving mail. I can send the email to info@someotherdomain.com from info@mydomain.com and it will go through.

I have a php script which sends out emails on execution.

I want the from address to be support@mydomain.com instead of mydomain@box364.bluehost.com

How do I configure my account to achieve this??

Create the support@mydomain.com email account. You can only send emails from email accounts that actually exist.

I have the same situation, but the from email that I want to send it from does exist...just not in bluehost. All of my mail is set up through google apps...MX records have been changed and everything.
