I've heard of SPF records before, but not PTR, so I'll go educate myself 
more on both counts to see if I can remedy the situation. The hosting 
company in question is pretty accommodating, so they may be willing to help.

I'll try that 5th parameter and see what happens. Luckily, for this 
particular script the "From:" header is hard-coded.

Thanks,
