You would need the mail() call to specify the From: and Reply-to:
headers:
mail('xtremetoonz@xxxxxxxxx', 'test', 'test, "From:
xtremetoonz@xxxxxxxxx\r\nReply-to: xtremetoonz@xxxxxxxxx");
Your mail software may also be REJECTING the over-riding of those
headers if the PHP user is not "trusted" enough by the mail software.
E.g., maybe you need to add the User setting of httpd.conf to the
trusted user list in sendmail.cf
Try sending email different ways to localize the trouble.
Use 'mail' from the command line as yourself.
'su' to the PHP User and then try 'mail' from command line again.
This may help explain where the problem lies.
