Mathieu,

        I believe the feature you are looking for has been made available in the 
new PHP 4.0.5 that is upcoming.  They have added a 5th paramether to the 
mail() function so you can actually pass sendmail command line arguments 
such as -f.  For those of us not running the development version, someone 
was kind enough to post a really good work around that isn't hard and 
gives the same functionality.  I won't post it here, but it can be found 
as the last of the user comments at 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php dated March 9th at 5:02 
am.  I implemented this on my servers and it works great.  You do have to 
add the one line to the scripts that use the mail function, but that is 
really it after sendmail is configured.
        Hope that was what you were looking for.

Tim Frank
