HI,

Thanks everyone...I missed that Nuonce thread when searching.
It's what I needed.
I tried to change the script to use a sender I can control..but don't know
PHP enough to get it to work.

Yup, same problem, different fix :-)

As I say, I prefer to set the sender of a mail to something I am in control
of so that people can reply to the mail or at least it go to a separate
mailbox.
