The PHP mail() function operates on your own server, however you can always change the address from which to mail is from.

The above link is the PHP documentation for the mail function.

Changing the address only changes the NAME of the from in the email, not the actual from email. Most email clients nowadays let you change that stuff. it is designed so you can put in your own name there so instead of showing and address, it shows your name. A lot of people recently have decided it would be funny to put email addresses in there. To make it seem like an email came from a different place than it really did. No matter what you do, the real email address always shows up when you open the message....

Hum.. i think there is a way of using Javascript for it, i know its not PHP but it works i think, only problem is i think when i tried it it popped up a box asking if it could send it, it was a long while back though so it might have been a redirect script that i thought was to send mail. Back in the days when i wouldn't have known what a redirect script was. Try Googling for it if you want.
