Thats the envelope, does it change the fields in mail header as well?
i.e. is that what it looks like in To: field of your mail reader?
How does your internal mail server do resolution,
via DNS or via /etc/hosts (what does you nsswitch.conf file say?).
'Cos it looks like somewhere you machine can't find it's own canonical
name.

questions questions questions I know, but I don't know enough of your
setup to do otherwise.
