A critical Sendmail vulnerability was announced last week. My guess is
that your sysadmin upgraded Sendmail to patch the vulnerability, and
pushed out some configuration changes while he was at it.
Try using the 5th parameter to the mail() function to pass your sender
address more forcefully:
mail('test@example.com', 'Subj', 'Msg', 'From: me@example.com',
'-ftest@example.com'');
The 5th parameter is simply '-f' followed by the sender address (note
that there's not a space in there anywhere).
