What's this?

[Blonde Jon]

I'm new to PHP. I just recently figured out how to send emails with PHP. I keep getting these wierd emails like the follow:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
tdue@anchoraudioclub.com
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"===============1680804087==\"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Subject: 3f3ad4dd
To: tdue@anchoraudioclub.com
bcc: bergkoch8@aol.com
From: tdue@anchoraudioclub.com

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--===============1680804087==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

What is it? Are people having problems sending emails or what? You can find my contact page here:

Is everyone out on vacation?

I'm going to change my contact page. I'm going to go back to my old school email form since I just received 28 blank emails. It makes me wonder if I have a ticked off customer trying to email me or something. Any input is appreciated.

the email you give is spam... so I wouldn't worry about that. Some nit has harvested your page for your emails you've made available.

[list=1] don't put emails up in a raw format, at best have them "obfuscated" and I have a page showing you how: http://sarahk.pcpropertymanager.com/obfuscate.php. The system you are currently using is straight html. No PHP involved.
put your contact me forms into a php script rather than this format so you can validate the information[/list]

your form certainly should be working, although you have a space at the beginning of the action but that doesn't seem to be causing problems.

Well, I just changed it back to plain html this morning. I'm still getting these blank emails though. I'm using Godaddy hosting where you get these free email accounts yourname@doamin.com I'm thinking this has something to do with it. I'm going to change it back to PHP here in about 2 seconds. Why am I getting these blank emails for?

Potentially to trace bounces to see if the accounts are active so they can add your emails to their nasty spammer CDs.

welcome to the club!

There are a lot of little subtilities with the e-mail headers when e-mailing from PHP. I have run into quite a few obscure issues when trying to e-mail through different SMTP relays.

I recommend spending some time reading up on e-mail headers with PHP.
