Most likely the Web user does not have an valid mailbox in the server 
machine. You need to set the envelop sender (AKA return-path) to some 
valid e-mail address mailbox. You need to either call sendmail directly 
with the -f switch or send the message to a SMTP server.

You may want to try these classes that do that for you:
