How can I remove this from the email server?

When a user registers on mysite they get an email from:
treasureshack@linhost275.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net

How can I change it so it only shows up as:
TreasureShackOnline

Add this somewhere in your mail() function:



$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Registration";
$message = "Thanks for registering..."; // Bla bla bla

$header = "From: TreasureSchackOnline <no-reply@treasureshack.com>";

mail ($to, $subject, $message, $header);

Hope that helps.

I can't use that, here is my code, this is a register page and it creates the email to the user and makes them click on the page to verify they are who they say they are...


$verifyurl = "http://www.treasureshackonline.com/forums/verify.php";
$verifystring = urlencode($randomstring);
$verifyemail = urlencode($_POST['email']);
$validusername = $_POST['username'];



$mail_body=<<<_MAIL_
Hi $validusername,
Please click on the following link to verify your new account:
$verifyurl?email=$verifyemail&verify=$verifystring
_MAIL_;

mail($_POST['email'], $config_forumsname . " User verification", $mail_body);

You can still add the header like so:



$verifyurl = "http://www.treasureshackonline.com/forums/verify.php";
$verifystring = urlencode($randomstring);
$verifyemail = urlencode($_POST['email']);
$validusername = $_POST['username'];
$header = "From: TreasureShackOnline <no-reply@treasureshackonline.com>";



$mail_body=<<<_MAIL_
Hi $validusername,
Please click on the following link to verify your new account:
$verifyurl?email=$verifyemail&verify=$verifystring
_MAIL_;

mail($_POST['email'], $config_forumsname . " User verification", $mail_body, $header);

No problem, glad to be of service :)

Oh - and just in case you didn't know, your forum isn't working. I'm sure you're aware of this but I assume it's because your doing some testing or what not.

Anyway, good luck with it.
