"From: $emailadd"

Assuming that $emailadd is the web users email address, this is blocked my
many smtp servers to prevent people "relaying" i.e. sending mail claiming to
be from a different domain. You will probably only be able to send mail
from and address that is controlled by your ISP, e.g. the domain of the
website itself.
