Only if you send mail with just a username in "From:", e.g.
From: haines
In general, one prefers to handle the "From:" address at the
MUA level.
The only advantage or disadvantage is that if you send a mail to
haines@histomat.net, I think that it will be sent locally instead
of remotely (that is, going to the smarthost). The local mailbox
and the remote mailbox are generally different. So this depends
on what you prefer.

Not surprising.
