I believe the issue is that you are including the "$from" in the
"additional_headers" parameter position without building a header or
otherwise labeling that address.
$subject_line = "testing email";
$to = "php@xxxxxx";
$from = "webmaster@xxxxxx";
$envelope_sender = "-f=<$from>";
$hit_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
...
$message_body = "$subject_line ...
mail($to,$subject_line,$message_body,$from,$envelope_sender);
I think that if you label it, e.g., 'From: $from', or build a header
variable and include it there, you'll be ok. See:
<http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php>
for lots of detail.
By the way, using the same "from" address everywhere makes figuring
out where this is coming from more complicated. For testing
purposes, try using different values in your various "from"
instances so that things are more obvious.
