Modifying the vbmail() function to include the -f parameter

[Kier]

If your server requires that you send the '-f' parameter when sending email via PHP, alter this code in the vbmail function in functions.php mail($toemail, $subject, $message, $headers);to thismail($toemail, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f $webmasteremail");

I'm using 2.2.9 and I've searched my admin/functions.php for this code and can not find it anywhere.

WHAT could I be doing wrong and we really need help since the server is set up to not allow email from the user "nobody"

[Mark Wegener]

that is because the function vbmail is only included in version 2.3.0

where would I put -f parameter? because this line looks nothing like the one you posted.

function vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message, $from = '', $headers = '', $username = '',) {
global $bbtitle, $webmasteremail;

mail($toemail, $subject, $message, trim($headers));

becomes

mail($toemail, $subject, $message, trim($headers), "-f $webmasteremail");

[poolking]

mail($toemail, $subject, $message, trim($headers));becomesmail($toemail, $subject, $message, trim($headers), "-f $webmasteremail" );

remove $username = '',) {
global $bbtitle, $webmasteremail; ?

No, you need to look below that line for the line to modify. It should match exactly what I posted.

That doesn't work, still can't email through admin cp.

What do you mean? Are any vB emails working?
