PHP Email Form Security

Asked by tru504187211 in PHP and Databases

Tags: ,

I was told by a member (who helped me on my last question) that for my 'TO' field on my PHP email form page, that a /r/n was necessary to keep the page from becoming a mail relay for spammers.  Basically, I wanted to know if it is safe with simply a /n as removing the /r allowed the 'sender' to appear to Outlook, otherwise it would go to spam without a sender.

Is there a safe way to go about having the sender appear as the sender (even hard coded) but with keeping the form secure?Start Free Trial
