Steven of course i have imported the 'os' module.
I try to send mail from different FROM filed just like as a visitor 
guest will use the webform to compete his own email.

but since you ask here is the whole code with the function displayed too.

#=================================================================================================================
# if html form is submitted then send user mail
#=================================================================================================================
def random_char( y, chars=string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits ):
	return ''.join( random.choice(chars) for x in range(y) )


for times in range(0, 1):
	try:
		# prepare mail data
		FROM = random_char(10) + '@' + random_char(10) + '.com'
		TO = "nikos.gr33k at gmail.com"
			
		SUBJECT = random_char( 50 )
		MESSAGE = random_char( 500 )
		
		os.system( "echo %s | mailx -v -r %s -s %s %s" % (MESSAGE, FROM, 
SUBJECT, TO) )

		print( "<h2><font color=blue>%sη αποστολή προς %s 
επετεύχθη!</font></h2>" % (times, TO) )
	except Exception as e:
		print( "sendmail => ", date, repr( sys.exc_info() ) )

sys.exit(0)

Is there a way to avoid the hostname and the ip address from being 
revealed when i'am sending an email?

Because the mails finally got delivered to my gmail account after many 
hours of delay, and in the headers they are detailes like hostname and 
ip address of my server which i dont want to be revealed.

i can alter FROM, TO, subject, message can i also alter the hostname fo 
the server the the mail derived from?
