I'm trying to change the headers:
<?
$email_milar="carles@defcon9.intercom.es";
$msg="Identificaci?n:";
$opcions.="Return-Path: carles@defcon9.intercom.es\n";
$opcions.="X-Sender: WIN 32\n";
$opcions.="X-Mailer: PHP3.0RC4\n";
mail($email_milar,"El Sabio Milar",$msg,$opcions);
?>

Problems:
- no mail is sent
- php3 crashes
- if mail is sent, headers are not well built


php2.ini file
[mail function]
SMTP=proxy.intercom.es                  ;for win32 only
sendmail_from= nobody@proxy.intercom.es  ;for win32 only
sendmail_path=                  ;for unix only

example of sent mail but not well built:
script:
<?
$email_milar="carles@defcon9.intercom.es";
$msg="Identificaci?n:";
$opcions="X-Mailer: PHP/FI".phpversion();
mail($email_milar,"El Sabio Milar",$msg,$opcions);
?>


result:

I've added error catching to catch not having a from header under win32.

Win32 requires either from be set in php3.ini or from be set in the header args of mail()

Looking into further issues


Mail() should function fine now.  Fixed a couple crashes.  One thing, if the From: header is included in the optional headers, it MUST be the first optional header.  All optional headers need to be seperated by newlines '\n'
