mail sent as local user

Hello,

I have a php based password request form that talks to mini_sendmail
within a chroot(2) environment, which then talks to qmail. When
requesting a password, the logged outgoing mail file is sent by
apache@hostname instead of admin@fqdn.com. Some email services block
this (rightly so), and some don't.. and when it is not blocked, the
mail is received FROM: admin@fqdn.com.. leading me to believe that the
php mail() call is formatted correctly with $header =.
the "me" file is set as fqdn, and there isn't a defaultdomain or
plusdomain file.

I am unsure how to resolve this issue. I'm not even sure if it's a
qmail problem or what.

Is it possible to use qmail-inject's environmental variables to fix
this?

Any help shedding light on the subject, or perhaps pointing me to a
more appropriate newsgroup, would be hugely apprecciated.

When invoiking sendmail, make sure to set the -f flag.

Hey,

in php.ini it was set as
sendmail_path = /bin/mini_sendmail -t

I set it to
sendmail_path = /bin/mini_sendmail -t -f

i am guessing though that this is now a mini_sendmail / php problem..

The -f flag requires an additional input, the sender's email address.
