I installed mailx to send mails, I am able to send mails through PHP using this function.

mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $header)

The thing is that I receive the html as attachment. Then if I just

mail($to_email, $subject, 'hello world', $header)

I got plain text.

How can I send the mail as html. I thing that mailx is ignoring headers. I am working on centos 7

I tryied config sendmail to do this, but I cant change the setfrom paramenter, because I am relaying to a smtp server which only use an specific email to send notifications.

This works perfect if I use mail in windows, the problem happen with mailx in centos.

How are you using `mailx` to send mail from PHP? – Barmar Aug 08 '18 at 16:46
Do you have `Content-type: text/html` in the header? – Barmar Aug 08 '18 at 16:47
In php.ini i refer to mailx instead sendmail. And yes i have content-type html – Diego Aug 08 '18 at 16:58
