    [please don't top post]

    The "ares2" server is submitting mail via the postfix sendmail(1) command,
    with an envelope from address of "root". Postfix will add @$myorigin to
    unqualified user names, when using the recommended default
    "append_at_myorigin = yes".

    The "hebe" server is submitting mail !TO POSTFIX! via SMTP using an
    envelope from address of "", so the append_at_myorigin
    parameter does not apply, as the from address is already fully qualified.

    You may note this header from hebe:
    Received: (from root at localhost) by hebe.dog.net (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id
             j3KLWUlQ005987 for ; Wed, 20 Apr 2005 16:32:30 -0500

    This header is apparently inserted by the real sendmail program, and
    sendmail is changing the sender address to "".

    So you have a couple tasks...
    - Uninstall sendmail from hebe. Make sure you don't clobber the postfix
    sendmail(1) compatibility program.
    - Investigate the masqurade_domains parameter to rewrite internal domain
    names to a consistent external name.
