You need to set the  "additional headers" and "additional parameters" 
arguments in the call to php mail().

Something like this:

mail (someone at foo.orc, "A subject line", $messageBody,
         "From: someoneelse at some.orc\n",
         "-f me at mine.orc");

This sets the From: header to someonelse at some.orc and the envelope 
sender to me at mine.orc.
