Postfix, being a Mail Transport Agent, just moves mail around; it
does not create the FROM header.

What you are interested in is the host and domain name of the system
as returned by gethostname().  This can be system-dependent and it's
been a while since I have worked with Red Hat... start with
"man hostname" for details.
