tlug: Mutt and domain lookup when sending mail - help!

[Jonathan Q <jq@example.com>]

OK, y'all, here's one of my biggest Mutt challenges yet.  When I compose
mail in Pine, I send it through our SMTP frontend (mail.gol.com, smart 
hosts) with no problems (the mail is spooled first by my localhost
sendmail, which accepts it for deferred delivery).  When I compose with
Mutt, our SMTPs reject it with this:

450 <jq@example.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not 
found

Samples of the headers being stuck onto Mutt-produce mail and
Pine-produced mail follow, and they are certainly different.
My challenge is to find out what's different about the mail is being
sent by Mutt that causes the SMTP relay to attempt to do a lookup on the
host-name of this machine (which doesn't really exist), whereas the Pine
mail is accepted for relay and passed along.

I'll throw in my .muttrc as well, for the reference of those
well-steeped in this arcana.

TIA,

Jonathan
