It comes from your php .ini (config) file that in your case probably
says under "apache':
User/Group nobody(99)/99 and under the PHP Core bit is:
sendmail_from - no value
What is probably happening is that you have no actual email address for
the user "do-not-reply" configured under the domain: "domain.com", so
php mail() is just using what is available instead, which is 'nobody'.
Most likely if you create a real email address for the script to
reference it will work, instead of messing with your php config. The
list tell you how to do that too if you feel brave, but you prolly
figured it out for yourself already :-)
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and name the file phpinfo.php then ftp it over to your server to see
what you have running on your system to confirm.
hth!
cheers,
