Odds are good this is an MTA config problem.  Send mail from both the
CLI (`mail`) and telnetting to localhost.  See what default host is
given on From: etc and then fix as appropriate.  Make sure you try with
unqualified addresses (ie UID only), with partially qualified domains,
and FQDNs to see the exact behaviour.
