Do you need me to use HTTP_HOST or SERVER_NAME ?<br>
I'm a bit lost...<br>
<br>
In some places it uses one and some places the other. It makes no
difference on my system, so I'm not sure which you want me to use.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jules.<br>

"short" name
for the server (<em class="emphasis">www</em>, for
example), instead of
the fully qualified domain name (<em class="emphasis">www.domain.com</em>,
say). If a user types a URL such as <em

be redirected to <em class="emphasis">http://www/somedir/</em>.
An obvious case in which
this is useful is when user authentication is switched
on: reusing the
server name that the user typed means they won't be
asked to
reauthenticate when the server name appears to the
browser to have
changed. More obscure cases relate to name/address
translation caused
by some firewalling techniques</a></p>

How are you calling your server in the browser url ? If you
use the IP,
probably then you'll get the IP on the email.<br>
Which browser/version are you using ?<br>
<br>
Into the lines you pinpointed, it's used $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
instead
of $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']: i agree with you, the second is
better
because it's related to the request's headers and not to the
server
configuration. I suggest Jules to exchange these as the values
at the
worst case are identical.<br>
<br>
hope this helps.<br>

<div>in /lib/NSSDropbox.php lines 40-43 appear to be what is
extracting the server name for the email message. In my

always an IP Address instead of the desired DNS host
