I found this information on the marcromedia site.  Using the FROM
doesn't solve the problem.  What else is needed? 

If you've ever sent an e-mail from PHP, you know what is required.
First, the mail server must be set up correctly on the PHP server.
Next, you have to know a little bit about what is required in your mail
headers. The PHP mail() function only takes four parameters�to,
subject, message, and header�but in many cases certain headers have to
be set or the mail will not go through. Some servers will reject an
email if the FROM field is not included. For that reason, the headers
have to be manually concatenated with line feeds. Knowledge of mail
headers is necessary. Alternately, you can use a pre-written script
that you might find on the web. The same simple e-mail sent from PHP
might look like this:
