How to change apache email address apache@localhost to admin@proporta.lk

[niloshima]

Hi,

In my LAN I am running apache and sendmail.
I use some php scripts to send mails.

I can send mail to hotmail yahoo etc

But when I send mail to some other domains my mails get reject saying sender verify fails.

Because when i send mail using php it use apache@localhost as sender address

How do I change this apache mail address. i mean apache@localhost to admin@proporta.lk some thing like that.


this is my mail headers

Have you tried to change the ServerAdmin directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ?

[Balthazor]

As giulix posted already change the ServerAdmin directive, but you should define this in your php scripts.
when you run this script on another server, then it will send emails with notyou@notyourdomain.com
Have a look at the docu php mail funtions
