Okay, in the php.ini the setting is as follows:
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com
But this should just be a default if you don't specify. I
doubt the hosting provider will change it on their servers. In your
local .htaccess file you may be able to give the variable a new value
(but I'm not sure). You would not have local php.ini, the system
won't read it as long as the provider has one installed.
Like the other guy, your best bet is just to get the
From part of the mail function working. You shouldn't have any
trouble setting the from there (the fourth parameter allows
you to add additional headers):
mail($msgTo, $msgSubj, $msgTxt, "From: $msgFrom")
Best regards!
