Is it a UNIX box? Sendmail takes the -f parameter in your php.ini to configure
its envelope from address... Does not extract it from message headers. The
fifth argument to mail() also supports doing this if you need to change it on a
per-mail basis. I would just set it in php.ini. (like: sendmail_path =
'/usr/bin/sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]')
If its a Win box there is a sendmail_from config param in php.ini.
php.net/manual/function.mail.php read for 'Additional Params' the fifth
argument, it specifically deals with this case.
