Sender: Sign-up@ unix-22.vhostnix.com

Hi,

... not sure if I completely understood you.

You can specify headers if you're using the mail function. In this case you can specify a custom From: header.

There are some examples here.

But mail servers might refuse to accept a mail for delivery if the domain part of the sender email can't be resolved. So in this case you might need to set the From: header to another email address because unix-22.vhostnix.com doesn't seem to be externally resolvable.

There is something about the message that is causing it to be flagged as spam. Without know you and your hosts settings we can't tell you what, but I can tell you some of the things I've run into.

Sender and Receiver are the same address
HTML mail without a multipart text section
Too many line breaks (don't ask me why but this does it sometimes)
Your domain has been flagged as a spam domain
Your domain is unresolvable.

Those are the five main reasons I've run into.
