There's any way to hide the hostname on email sent through php mail()?
I told to one of my customer to use a FROM header on the sending php script, however, still says [email protected] as the sender.

I'm not sure if this can be configured on the php mail() options or anywhere.
Is it possible?

The actual sender of the email will always, if you have phpsuexec enabled, be user@hostname because the actual sender is the user at the given host. Otherwise it will be nobody@hostname for the exact same reasons.

You can set the From: header, and this is the value most commonly displayed in email clients. This is specified in the fourth parameter of the PHP mail() function.
