When I use the function mail(), the the from email address that is used is apache@<hostname>.  I
tried setting the sendmail_from directive in php.ini and the ServerAdmin directive in httpd.conf
to something different but it still keeps using the same address.  Is the a different directive
I'm supposed to be setting to change the default from address?

Since there is a comment above the sendmail_from line in the default php.ini that says "For Win32 only" I'm guessing it won't have any effect on RHEL. This is also repeated in the manual.

Look into the optional 5th parameter to mail. Assuming the apache user has the required permissions to do it, this allows you to add arguments to the sendmail command. The one you want is -fuser@xxxxxxxxxx - see example 3 on the PHP manual page for mail.
