Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your response. I have the following values inside the
<VirtualHost> container:

  php_admin_value doc_root "/usr/local/vhosts/<clientname>/htdocs"
  php_admin_value sendmail_from "webmaster@<client>"

I also double-checked httpd.conf to make sure that the directories have
"AllowOverride Options":

<Directory "/usr/local/vhosts/*/htdocs">
    AllowOverride Options
    Options Indexes MultiViews IncludesNOEXEC
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

php.ini has "safe_mode = On"

but testing the web application still sends e-mail coming from the ID runnig
the web process. BTW, my MTA is Postfix if this helps in troubleshooting the
problem. Thanks also for the link :)

Sincerely yours,

Francis A. Vidal

Someone, quite probably , once wrote:

In each virtual hosts' config section include the line:
php_value       sendmail_from   user@their.domain

Just make sure they have:
AllowOverride Options

So you can set PHP options on a virtual host basis.  If you do that
you'll probably want to set some things so they can't be changed like:
php_admin_flag  safe_mode       on

Read http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php for more info.
