You need to add the ini_set function into your email scripts. I have uploaded a test script, 8xbi22xy4-helpdesk/fh_emailtest.php that sends a basic email.

<?php
//set the from address here
ini_set("sendmail_from", "gavin.hall@computer-direct.net");

// replace this with the email address that you want the test email to go to
$to = "external.test@gmail.com";

$subject = "test using the mail function";
$msg = "test email";

$mailheaders = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

?>

//set the from address here
ini_set("sendmail_from", "SOMETHING@SOMETHING.COM");

// replace this with the email address that you want the test email to go to
$to = "SOMETHING@SOMETHING.COM";

$subject = "HELPDESK TICKET GENERATED";
$msg = $message;

$mailheaders = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

mail ($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

} // End if

1) Email must be sent to, or from, an email address hosted by Fasthosts. An email address hosted by Fasthosts is not the same as a domain name hosted by Fasthosts. If your domain's MX record points to another email provider, it will not count as being hosted by Fasthosts.

Use the PHP mail function and set the mail from using the following line of code - replacing $email_from with the correct domain name.

* ini_set("sendmail_from", " $email_from ");

You need to add a fifth "-f" parameter to the sendmail function. This will set the name of the from address.

* mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers, '-f'.$email_from);

/* Send e-mail */
ini_set("sendmail_from", "MYEMAIL@MYDOMAIN.COM");
$headers = "From: $hesk_settings[noreply_mail]\n";
$headers.= "Reply-to: $hesk_settings[noreply_mail]\n";
$headers.= "Return-Path: $hesk_settings[webmaster_mail]\n";
$headers.= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$hesklang['ENCODING'];
@mail($email,$hesklang['ticket_received'],$msg,$headers,"-fMYEMAIL@MYDOMAIN.COM");

/* Send e-mail to staff */
	ini_set("sendmail_from", "MYEMAIL@MYDOMAIN.COM"); 
	$email=implode(',',$admins);
	$headers = "From: $hesk_settings[noreply_mail]\n";
    $headers.= "Reply-to: $hesk_settings[noreply_mail]\n";
    $headers.= "Return-Path: $hesk_settings[webmaster_mail]\n";
    $headers.= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$hesklang['ENCODING'];
	@mail($email,$hesklang['new_ticket_submitted'],$msg,$headers,"-fMYEMAIL@MYDOMAIN.COM");
