You need a domain name pointing to your IP address for a start, then you
either need to configure php.ini to use the correct email or you should
pass the additional param to sendmail, as shown below.


Taken from php.net:

The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional
parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the
sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to
set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail
option.

The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted
user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from
being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using
this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users.



The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional
parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the
sendmail_path.
<?php
mail('nobody@example.com', 'the subject', 'the message', null,
'-fwebmaster@example.com');
?>
