It's extremely simple - just put any email address as "From" address:
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'Buy me!',
'Here\'s some spam for you',
"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" .
"Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" .
"X-Mailer: PHPSpam/" . phpversion() . "\r\n",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
The last parameter is a sendmail parameter which may be omitted (doesn't
work in safe mode anyway, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php).
