	i had what i think is/was a simialr problem.
	and it only occured w/ mutt.
	first i tried tweeking w/ the *hostname* 
	variable in the muttrc.
		
		set hostname=*****.***

	which didnt seem to work.
	after digging through some of the docs/archives/ around www.mutt.org
	i found this line which helped.

		set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -f<username>@<host>"

	i put it in my .muttrc and all was fine (the from: problem that is)

	not sure if this will help, but you can try it.

	there are of course much better ways to deal with this problem
	but i am not clever enough to fig. them out.
	
	as always i will post this in case this is utterly stupid...
	and i will try to find the actual posts explaining this and
	mail those to you if you want...
