You are a bit confused. The header that Anonymous Access User
<nobody@....> is From , not From: . Note the missing colon.

The From header is generated by your mail server automatically. Usually
it sets it to the return path address. The way that address is set
depends on your platform. You may want to try this class that figures
automatically how to set the return path address:
