My CI app is sending out emails to users, which is all going fine. However, in Hotmail the FROM appears as "www-data ([email protected]) on behalf of MySiteName ([email protected])"

The only thing that should be shown here is "MySiteName ([email protected])", as is the case in gmail and yahoo. The rest reveals information about the server that is sending the mails.

When I look at the "full view" of the received email in gmail (not the normal inbox view which is fine), I see

- Return-Path: <[email protected]>
- Sender: www-data <[email protected]>

"domain" in this case is the company that's hosting the site for us and this data should not be displayed as it is in Hotmail.

In my model I have

Code:

$config['mailtype'] = "html";

        

        $msg = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

                &lt;html &gt;

                &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head>&lt;body&gt;';

        $msg .= "bla ";

        $msg .= "&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html>";

        

        $this->load->library('email');

        $this->email->initialize($config);        

        $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Site');

        $this->email->reply_to('[email protected]', 'Site');

        $this->email->to('[email protected]');

        $this->email->subject('An Order was made');

        $this->email->message($msg);        

        $this->email->send();

Does anyone know how I can set or remove the "“www-data ([email protected]) on behalf of MySiteName ([email protected])" string?

In the CI Email Class I see

Code:
$this->_set_header('Return-Path', '<'.$from.'>');

but afaik $from should never contain that external-domain.com string? Is this something that needs to be set in the email config of the server?
