sendmail reveals webhost and servername (using mail() in php) -- anyway to fix?

php 4.4.2 mail() working fine BUT
if you look at full headers in the email
you can see name of webhost AND the name of server the site is hosted on.
(in Return-path, Received: from, and Message-Id)

any way to fix?
(I am not a spammer. just dont want to reveal any more info than necessary.)

phpinfo says:
sendmail_from no value no value
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

the following did NOT work:
in htaccess
php_value sendmail_from me@mine.com

in the script
ini_set(sendmail_from,'me@mine.com');

thank you.

when I get email from some companies, full headers doesn't mention their webhost company.
it says "received from" that same company.
I guess this means they have their own servers, and don't use a webhost?

That is correct.
