Check the 5th parameter usage and associated comments.

Can you be more specific. I only see 4 parameters and none of them apply.

Oops sent you to the wrong page.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

There are 5 parameters:

bool mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string
additional_headers [, string additional_parameters]] )


Look for this:
additional_parameters (optional)


and look at example 3.

That doesn't work.

Here is what I have.

mail($email,$subject,$body,$from);

Which is (senders address, the subject, the body of the message, and the
from address)

The from address is taken from this, and I added the -f in front of it.
define("regaddress", "-fregistrar@totalcomputercare.ca");

It still says it comes from:
Nobody [nobody@host.hosting.com]; on behalf of; Registrar
[-fregistrar@mycompany.ca]

Thanks

That's something different entirely to what your original email said.

Your mail server is adding that, it's not a php setting you can change.

If you look at the mail source, it will have an extra header in there
(can't remember what it is but check against this email - something like
"Sender" or "Sender-Address").

Why can't you just add a
From: Registrar <registrar@mycompany.ca>
header? =/
