Form mail "from address"

[castpro]

Hi-

I am hosting a website on my domain. I have a contact page with a php form mail script. After testing the emails sent by the script, the from address displays my mail server address example: mydomain@box18.bluehost.com. I have email accounts setup for the hosted (sub)domain in my domain. Is there a way to have the received emails have the "from" address reflect: something@hostedDomain.com or even hostedDomain@box18.bluehost.com

Thanks

To be able to send emails that come from something@hostedDomain.com you simply need to make sure that the email address something@hostedDomain.com actually exists either as a real account or as a forwarder to a real email account.

Thanks for the reply.
Since the mail is being sent through a form on the contact page from the website, I'm not sure how to specify a sent from address. Do I need to specify a from address in the php script? If so I do not know how.

Thanks

The from address goes in the email headers - 4th parameter of the call to mail() - along with any other headers you want the email to have.

Yep, that's what I needed to know. It works now.

Thanks again!
