Hello,

When using the mail() function to send a simple mail message, which
specific parameters of the function need to cleaned to prevent mail
injection?

First of all I am already validating the $to parameter to be a valid
email address.

After reading http://securephp.damonkohler.com/index.php/
Email_Injection, I gather the parameters that need to be cleaned to
prevent mail injection are the $headers and the $additional_headers.

Is this correct?

Do I also need to clean the $subject parameter to prevent mail
injection?

What about the $message parameter?

Thanks,

C Drozdowski
