No. It's a bad idea to use PHP's "mail" functions, for several reasons.
Instead, use phpmailer <
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/>, which has much
more flexibility - it uses SMTP instead of using the mail server binaries.
Most importantly, you can properly set the SMTP return-path for the email,
which ensures that bounces don't go to your webmaster, but to the
application owner.
