Hi,

Try adding the -f option to sendmail on unix:

mail('to@dest', 'Subject', 'Message',
"From: My Site <info@site>", '-finfo@site');

That works just fine, even for Exim. Thank you, Peter.

But still, the first Received: line shows the account name as the
originating host. I've tried the -oMs option, but that fails. (I'll have to
contact the server admin to see about being a "trusted caller".)

However, is there a PHP way to override the HELO/EHLO hostname that calls
Exim (just as there was an Exim way to override what goes into the
envelope's From).?

Using the mail() function, I can easily change the From address that
appears in an email. But how do I change the From that gets sent in the
SMTP conversation, which results in the address that appears in the
envelope's Return-path: header? That value currently is the
account_name@machine_name, but I don't want to give away my Linux account
name with every single email.
