Hi Richard,

I'm trying to understand why this is good from a SPAM point of view.
I'm guessing that anyone can just add this when sending his own spam no?

In the ideal world, you also will want to upgrade and use the FIFTH
(optional) argument to http://php.net/mail and provide a Return-path:
header that matches your From: line with "-fuser@example.com"

Otherwise, you lose points in spam filters, and some recipients will
probably not ever see the email.
