Just using the built in mail() function. The function takes: mail($to, 
$subject, $message, $headers)

Slightly modified from the PHP docs, I'm testing with this (of course 
using real addresses):

/* recipients */
$to  = "y at b.com";

/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";

/* message */
$message = '
Blah Blah Blah
';


/* additional headers */
$headers  = "To: Judah <y at b.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Other Judah <z at c.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <z at c.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: <z at c.com>\r\n";

/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);


My php.ini file has these relevant portions:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = a.com ; for Win32 only

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = x at a.com ; for Win32 only


It seems that on Win32, the sendmail_from value in the php.ini file 
overrides anything that you might send as additional headers in your 
mail() function.
