this directive doesn't isn't meant do be doing that. it's only for
error messages ("..contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..") and not for mail
deliveries.

yes, there is. explanation below.

on un*x, PHP passes your mails directly to sendmail/qmail/exim or whatever
mail software is running on your machine. if you're using windows, PHP uses
it's own SMTP function instead. that's the difference.
The "from" in your mail header therefore comes from your mail transfer
agent and has little to do with PHP. therefore you have to look for
this problem there.
