First off... Drupal 4.7 rocks my world! Now on to the meat...

I use Postfix for my MTA and I have set the a proper "from:" mail user (band@chubbyjams.com) in Administer>settings>general settings>Email address. When requesting a new password for a user (say jeff@chubbyjams.com) the mail doesn't go out.
Running
tail -f /var/log/maillog
I notice the following:

May  8 23:19:06 peter postfix/smtp[23784]: 3F58413850B: to=<band@chubbyjams.com>, relay=mail.one.net[64.89.70.104], delay=6, status=bounced (host mail.one.net[64.89.70.104] said: 553 5.1.8 <www@peter.jfeige.net>... Domain of sender address www@peter.jfeige.net does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

jfeige.net is my internal domain and peter is the hostname of the machine. www is the owner of the apache process. I don't know why it is not using the defined FROM: in Drupal. This configuration used to work fine in Drupal 4.6, but...

Telnetting in to the SMTP server and setting

MAIL FROM: band@chubbyjams.com
RCPT TO: jeff@chubbyjams.com
DATA
Hey look ma, it works
.

results in:

May  9 01:24:49 peter postfix/qmgr[18400]: 5019A1383B1: from=<band@chubbyjams.com>, size=378, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
May  9 01:24:51 peter postfix/smtp[27850]: 5019A1383B1: to=<jeff@chubbyjams.com>, relay=mail.one.net[64.89.70.104], delay=22, status=sent (250 2.0.0 k495On9h005078 Message accepted for delivery)

so I know it's not an SMTP configuration problem.

I'm obviously missing something here...

As always, any suggestions would be appreciated. (This is an upgrade from 4.6.x if anyone thinks that might make a difference)
