When sending an e-mail from php to a destination e-mail address the user receiving the mail has on its client side the foollowing format of the mail sender (on his FROM field) eg.:

a2323@srv10.000webhost.com

Would it be possible to customize this format i.e to change at least one portion either on left or right of the @ sign ??

(For example this would be good enough: JohnLee@webhost.com)

The email address above looks like your assigned default webhost email, and is likely used due to not assigning your own value for the "From" value in your email form.
Although you can assign your desired "FROM" value to "JohnLee@webhost.com" I would not suggest this unless you actually own said email adddress.

Yes, you may define the "From" values in your mail script.

Example:
//DEFINE SOME VARIABLES
$to = "$_POST[email];
$subject = "Your email subject line";
$message = "$_POST[message]";
$adminemail = "youremail@domain.com"
$website = "www.yourdomain.com";

// SEND THE EMAIL AS PER DEFINED VARIABLES
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $website <$adminemail>\n");

more and more hosts are dropping outgoing Email into the bit bucket if
the "from" address is not in your account
that is - they no longer allow outgoing email with forged headers

you should validate the " $_POST[....] " before you pass them on

you should also test the return value of the PHP function MAIL( ) for a error

Yes, you definitely can customize it.

I would just make so it sends the mail to your email (admin@yoursite.com).
