Does the message that's in your junk mail box look like it's from one
of these?

From: <apache@yourhost.com>
From: <nobody@yourhost.com>
From: <www@yourhost.com>

When PHP sends an email using mail() function, your having the web
server user (Usually called "WWW" or "HTTP" or "NOBODY") send email on
your behalf. Lots of spammers do not setup their engines correctly,
and these are the common user names that are used when they start
sending out 1,000+ emails.

Read this carfully: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Pay close attention to Example 2
