FormMail will use the IP, so you can specify that.
I haven't looked at bnbform but if you have to specify the recipient in
the HTML code, I find it gets harvested by spammers rather quickly. I
give each client a customized FormMail.pl and have them name it
something like contact.pl and put the line in the script:

$recipient = "you\@sample.com";

IIRC, that may have been the only change I made to it, but it was a long
time ago. (I also customize the portion under # Print the page footer. )
At some point I need to customize it further so when bad spiders like
webclipping.com ignore robots.txt and hit the script it doesn't send a
blank email.
