When you use the PHP Mail function it goes through php and mails and uses the address specified in the php.ini file. However, this is usually the server account and whatever address is specified as the "php_value sendmail_from" will be the address the email is sent from. This always creates the problem that the emails are not recognized from valid senders and they get put in peoples junk mail folder.

People will just have to set that address to be accepted. Email servers do not act as relay servers most of the time.

If you want to override the email address in the php.ini file you can create an .htaccess file with the following in it then put the .htacess file in the root of your web directory:

# ------ Sendmail Override ------#
php_value sendmail_from your@email.com

Hope this helps!

There are also things you can do with your MTA if you are running Unix and spooling to a mailer under your control.
