First, please don't send a question to multiple groups. Choose one and try for
an answer.
Next, the fourth argument of the mail() function is expecting a mail header.
In this case you need to change this line:
$from = $txtname;
to:
$from = "From: $txtname\r\n";
You may find different behavior on Unix/Linux servers and the mail servers
which go with them (sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim) vs what you can do from a
Windows server. The Linux ones will generally accept the From: header and use
it according to the RFC standard. However, certain ways of connecting a
Windows server to a mail server causes this to behave in odd ways, including
ignoring this header value entirely. The \r\n is part of the standard as is
the space after the colon and the capitalization of "From".
