Send email weirdness (PHP)

Question

I've set up an web form on a site, which works fine, except
that my client is getting emails through OK, but apparently from my
email address rather than the address of the person sending them
(or at least the email address they enter into the email address
field of the form.)
The code is :
//start Trigger_SendEmail trigger
//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
function Trigger_SendEmail(&$tNG) {
$emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG);
$emailObj->setFrom("{RSdummy.email}");
$emailObj->setTo("[email protected]");
$emailObj->setCC("");
$emailObj->setBCC("");
$emailObj->setSubject("Enquiry from Pixelar Site");
//WriteContent method
$emailObj->setContent("Hi Steve,\n\nPlease find my
details below.\n\nKind regards,\n\n{firstname} {lastname} \n\nTel :
{tel} \nEmail : {email} \n\nComments : {comments} \n\nPreferred
method of contact : {prefer}");
$emailObj->setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
$emailObj->setFormat("Text");
$emailObj->setImportance("Normal");
return $emailObj->Execute();
//end Trigger_SendEmail trigger
//start Trigger_SendEmail1 trigger
//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
function Trigger_SendEmail1(&$tNG) {
$emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG);
$emailObj->setFrom("[email protected]");
$emailObj->setTo("{email}");
$emailObj->setCC("");
$emailObj->setBCC("");
$emailObj->setSubject("Enquiry from Pixelar Site");
//WriteContent method
$emailObj->setContent("Hi {firstname},\n\nThank you for
your enquiry.\nWe'll be in touch soon.\n\nSteve,\nPixelar");
$emailObj->setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
$emailObj->setFormat("Text");
$emailObj->setImportance("Normal");
return $emailObj->Execute();
//end Trigger_SendEmail1 trigger
I would have changed the email address in the first part to
mine to test, but why its lurking like a ghost now is just plain
weird.
I just tried changing it to my email address, and filled in
the form with my msn address, and it came through exactly as I'd
expect it to.
So I'm wondering if maybe there's something going on at my
client's end.
Hope that made sense, but it does seem a bit of an odd
one....
Any ideas?
Cheers.

The reason i want to use gmail because i can't use smtp university's mail server( looking to the apple server error log is say something about IsSMTP(); function. today, i had discussion with them(ICT dept) and they can't solve it as there's no apple server used before/now and no one familiar with it. they give me other alternative by using a "secret server", a subdomain name were given with no smtp authentication. no username or password were used, not even using any ssl or tsl security. they give me this last solution when i install joomla on the other windows server and try to use university smtp server with email account. error saying cannot connect to smtp server. i did try also using joomla on my apple server still with the error. so what i understand now is that its related to university global networking security/policy setting(correct me if i'm wrong). so for the SL server, its should be super easy to setup if you are yourself configuring the internet direct to your ISP. thanks very much to Camelt for quick answered. So i should not facing any problem with apple server if i bought and connect it direct to my ISP, right Camelot?
