Is there a way I can set the email address used by php's mail() function without getting caught by spam filters?
If I don't add a from header the email is sent from apache#ip-17....3.us-west-2.co....rnal which isn't the worst name because most mail services just shorten to Apache. But I would like to have that be noreply.mydomain.com If I add a from header and put anything else it seems to always get caught by spam but not if just left to default.
My setup is PHP 7 on linux Amazon EC2 Micro

You could also use PHPMailer class at https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer .
It allows you to use the mail function or use an smtp server transparently . It also handles HTML based emails and attachments so you don't have to write your own implementation.
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#example.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->From = 'from#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('joe#example.net', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen#example.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // Set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
