If it were me, I'd use something like PHPMailer with SMTP
Authentication, which then the email comes from the "MailServer" rather
than the "WebServer" if they are 2 separate machines.

That COULD solve the issue there, but as Ash said, if it has "spammy"
words in it, it wouldn't make any difference then.

Try using the "-f" flag with the PHP mail(), and if that doesn't work,
then try a 3rd party class such as PEAR::Mail, or PHPMailer.
