imap_mail

[owner]

I am trying to send a confirmation email when a user submits a forum back to the user.  The problem that I am having is the email is being sent from root@localhost on my development machine rather than an address I specify in the headers.  I am logged in to a real email account that I have using imap_open() and I know I am connected as I am able to read/delete emails.

 

Here is what I am using to send the confirmation email:

$headers = 'From: applications@mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
		'Reply-To: applications@mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
		'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail( $to , 'Application Submitted'  , 'Your application has successfully been submitted.', $headers);
imap_mail($to, 'Application Submitted', 'Your application has successfully been submitted.', $headers);

 

Both mail and imap_mail send from the crazy address.  Am I missing something?
