The mail() function implementation in PHP is a horribly broken piece of code.

Not sure how you managed to get it working with sendmail, but to make it work
with exim we had to patch exim so that it set needed options when called as 'phpexim'
and reduce the sendmail_path php.ini setting to the path to 'phpexim'.

Anyway, the way to send anything but most trivial mail in PHP is to use special classes
that either do their own popen() or talk SMTP.
