Right, a very good annotation about not using the mail() function, but
to use i.e.
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
or Pear's class
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
Instead of a fully featured MTA a submitter can be enough, which hands
the outgoing mail over to a mail hub (which then typically masquerades
...).
