have a look in the php.ini for the domain (abc.com in your example...)
/var/www/fcgid/<domain>/phpX/php.ini

i should state clearly that i want to change "virtual-user" to something like "webservice" or "info"

that can be done passing the $headers arg to mail() and adding the 'From: somebody <mail@mydomain.tld>' header.

i change the sendmail_path with -F 'From: somebody <mail@mydomain.tld>', it works for gmail. but for some other emails, it shows the email sender as vu200x@mydomain.tld.local instead.

Ok, there are two sort of sender in an e-mail:
the envelope sender - which is set in the php.ini and
the "from" sender which you can set while sending an email - as raphael stated above: adding some more headers to the "mail()" function in the php-script.
Normally the "from" sender is the one which is important - sometimes the envelope sender two - but mostly it's ok if the envelope sender is a valid mail address...
Cheers
