You're confusing the 4th and 5th parameters, partially because Chris
has misled you :-)
4th: Regular headers like "From: registrar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" and
"Reply-to: registrar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
5th: Args to sendmail, if your PHP user is a trusted user for sendmail
(unlikely in a shared-host environment with no php.ini) so you can
hack the "-f" which really truly forges the "sender" rather than
kinda/sorta forging it.
They are quite different, and serve different purposes.
You probably only *need* the 4th at this point, but need to construct
valid email headers (see 4th above) and not valid sendmail command
line flags (what you are trying to do now).
Note that spam filters will "catch" the forgery in 4th and penalize
you for it, so do everything else you can to make your email not look
like spam. Unless it is spam, in which case you want to be sure to
use HTML enhanced (cough, cough) email, and lots of USELESS CAPS and
plenty of explamation points!!! and be sure to attach a couple GIF
images, and embed a reader-tracking GIF and...
