Yes, but it's less work to specify reply-to and from using mail(). If you do
want to do this, PHP's socket library allows you to directly connect to an SMTP
server and send the appropriate commands. There are several PHP classes
available which do this - search your favorite PHP code repository - if you
don't want to become a lot more familar with RFC 822.
