Assuming your mail forms are using the standard mail() function of PHP to pass the mail to the sendmail binary for delivery - you can use the mail.force_extra_parameters to force the envelope from address. This can be applied in a custom php.ini for the account that runs the mail form, or as a simple addition of the -f <[email protected]> as the 5th parameter of the mail() function.

If you are running cloudlinux alt-php you can set the -f paramater in cPanel in the domains 'Select PHP Version' >> PHP Options >> mail.force_extra_parameters value.
