The built-in mail() function in PHP just does a popen() to sendmail. You
can do that yourself. There is a user-level popen() call. If you look in
functions/mail.c in the PHP source code you will see this:

    sendmail = popen(php3_ini.sendmail_path, "w");

    if (sendmail) {
        fprintf(sendmail, "To: %s\n", to);
        fprintf(sendmail, "Subject: %s\n", subject);
        if (headers != NULL) {
            fprintf(sendmail, "%s\n", headers);
        }
        fprintf(sendmail, "\n%s\n", message);
        ret = pclose(sendmail);
        if (ret == -1) {
            return 0;
        } else {
            return 1;
        }
    } else {
        php3_error(E_WARNING, "Could not execute mail delivery program");
        return 0;
    }

You can translate this almost verbatum into PHP and create your own mail()
function that calls sendmail the way you want.

Alterntively, you could edit you php3.ini file and change the
sendmail_path setting to call sendmail with the flags you want.
