Debian configuring sendmail and php mail() - cannot change from address

Posted March 15, 2014 7.8k views
I am trying to set up sendmail to send from the php function mail(). I have looked through some of the questions and guides on this site, but cannot see anyone encountering my particular problem. I cannot specify the from address. All mail seems to come from *@d1stkfactory rather than *.mydomain. For example:

Stupid code example formating, trying again.

$to = 'me@gmail.com';
$subject = 'What more tests';
$message = 'I suck at this.';
$headers = 'From: server@mydomain.co.uk' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: server@mydomain.co.uk';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
