Changing or removing the mailed-by header when sending email via PHPMailer

[ykhamitkar]

Hi there

I am using php-mailer to send email.
The mail goes succesfully however in each email I get "mailed-by: survername.com"

How can I remove mailed-by tag from email

Thanks,
Yogesh

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles that do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Hi.

There is detailed documentation on PHPMailer at it's publisher's web, located here.

I could not find anything relating to your problem, but you may want to look for yourself.

php mail mailed-by server.name.com

Hi

I am putting this query again as somebody suggested me to change the header of my previous thread.


my php mail function works fine. However it gives an extra information in email as :

mailed-by server.name.com


*sever.name.com is only indicative

How can I remove this

Thanks
Yogesh

Merged duplicate threads. I went ahead and added additional detail to your thread title to remove any ambiguity.

Heya, Yogesh.

Did you find the information you were looking for at the link that Atli provided?

[ykhamitkar]

No I havent got any solution on that. :(

Heya, Yogesh.

Can you remove it by using AddCustomHeader ()?

I found the solution,

# Create an email address from your domain, or take one you've had, like admin@yourdomai n.com.
# Set your code like this:
mail($mailto,$s ubject,$message ,$header,'-f admin@yourdomai n.com');
# There's no number 3, you're done!

@smithveg: Your solution is using the PHP function mail but ykhamitkar wants to do this via the PHP-Mailer script. I'm looking for an answer on this one too. Anyone?

PHPMailer has a Sender property that can be set. Their documentation of it says "Sets the Sender email (Return-Path) of the message. If not empty, will be sent via -f to sendmail or as 'MAIL FROM' in smtp mode".

I set it to my email addres and the 'mailed-by' header disappeared altogether in the email I received. Not was I was hoping for, but better than what it was. I don't know if I am in smtp mode or not, but maybe someone else can take this further and illuminate all of us on the subject...
