So here's my issue...I have two sites hosted on one machine using apache's virtual hosts. I want to send emails from the two different sites (domain.com and domain2.com) using the appropriate email addresses. I currently have this value in php.ini:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fuser@domain.com

But when I try sending an email from a script on domain2.com it obviously is delivered with a From: user@domain.com header. Apache doesn't allow you to set a rule like this from within the <VirtualHost> directive:

php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fuser@domain2.com"

So what's the best way to accomplish this? I've tried setting php_admin_value mail.force_extra_parameters "-fuser@domain2.com" from within the domain2.com's <VirtualHost> directive but all emails are still coming from domain.com. Any ideas?

I saw that, but editing every mail() call wasn't a viable option for me – Jeff Dec 8 '11 at 0:55

You have to remove the -fuser@domain.com from your php.ini. And then modify the mail function for each script that sends mail for each host appropriately. That way you can pass the correct -f argument for each virtual host.

Sorry, I should have added that in my OP. I did remove the -fuser@domain.com from the php.ini file prior to adding the mail.force_extra_parameters to the vhost's conf file. That still wasn't working. I found a way that worked for me that I'll be posting later tonight – Jeff Dec 8 '11 at 0:59
Please post it for another user seems to be having the same problem – adamo Dec 14 '11 at 7:10

Whoops sorry for the delayed answer. I completely forgot about this question because I don't come over to SF too frequently – Jeff Feb 3 at 3:28

Although you're not allowed to set the sendmail_path from within the <VirtualHost> directive, you can set it within the <Directory> directive. So I simply have something that looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    Standard stuff goes here

    <Directory /dir/to/your/web/root>
        php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fuser@domain2.com"
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I'm not sure if it's the most proper or elegant way to accomplish this, but it definitely worked. Sorry it took so long to respond, I don't go on SF that frequently and forgot about this question.
