[PHP] sending mail with php on a linux box

[Chris W]

I'm not sure if this is a PHP, Apache, Network, or sendmail 
configuration but hopefully someone here will know.

When I send email with PHP the from header is

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't run a real mail server on my machine, so I want to change that 
email address to something else.  What config file do I need to look at 
to do this?

Even if you throw a From : in the headers with the mail() function?

The last parameter of mail() allows you to specify additional headers.Use it
to set a From header.

$headers = From: [EMAIL PROTECTED];

mail($to,$subject,$msg,$headers);
