Kai,

I could use this ability here, but only find the sendmail_from parameter for 
Windows PHP. Could you explain how this is done or point me to something, 
please? We run multiple virtual hosts on many servers, and not only do we 
get a log entry from apache that it changed the sender, but it always 
indicates the hostname as the sender.

Thanks for any help.
