Ideally, you need the "from" to be (a) a real email address that people can reply to, (b) from a domain that specifies that the server sending the email is allowed to send email from that domain in the SPF record in the DNS. e.g. if you are sending from server1.example.com, with a "from" field of rich@xxxxxxxxxx, then the SPF DNS entry for domain.com must specify server1.example.com as allowed.
