Just a thought, but what's your machine's entry in hosts? I have a
similar config at home and my hosts looks like...

207.3.132.200	glasgow.lancaster.mx		glasgow

And my mail comes out as from "glasgow.lancaster.mx" just fine. I send
it from Emacs, which grabs the host name as "glasgow.lancaster.mx". 
Now, my guess is that if I had just "glasgow" in hosts, I'd get the
same problem as you.

What Lars Hallberg <lah@micropp.se> said would, I think, back this up.

Hope that helps,

Graeme
