Since PHP 4.0.5 you can use the following syntax:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"Subject",
"Hello world!",
"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (My Name)",
"-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

You should use Errors-To and Return-Path headers, it'll help.

The current mail function /sendmail setting doesn't support the -f flag for sendmail.
This means that when an email is sent out by a php script it doesn't bounce back to
the from or reply-to address it bounces back to the web server. In a virtual hosting
situation this is a nightmare.
I wasn't sure how to handle all the regular expression stuff in c but I have a basic
outline for the change needed in mail.c:
if (strstr(senmail_path,"-f")!=NULL &&
(strstr(headers,"Reply-To:")!=NULL||strstr(headers,"From:")!=NULL))
{
int failure=0;
/* They want to override
* They have a valid header
* Need to build up sendmail_path
* First copy out the Reply-To: or From:
* /
if (strstr(headers,"Reply-To:")!=NULL)
{
/* Reply-To takes precidence */
/* find out the reply-to address */
}
else if (strstr(headers,"From:")!=NULL)
{
/* find the From address */
}
if (no_match==1)
{
sendmail = popen(sendmail_path, "w");
}
else
{
/*copy the modify the sendmail path so that -f is overriden by -f reply-to
address or -f from_address */'
sendmail = popen(new_sendmail_path, "w");
}
}
else
{
sendmail = popen(sendmail_path, "w");
}
