look at the manual page for sendmail. if you don't have man pages
installed, google for it. those are common options to use when sending
mail from a program.
if you want to rewrite it to make it better, there are many good mail
modules that do all that for you and you don't need to see options like
that. the above is old style coding for mailing.
