>From the php website, it appears that the -fme@myaddress.com can be
put in the fifth parameter of the mail() function:

Example 3. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional
command line parameter.

mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME", "-fwebmaster@$SERVER_NAME");


Note: This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3
this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will
expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it.
