In fact, I did install postfix before and configured the /etc/postfix/main.cf  's myorigin=abc.com  but it still shown as root at mylinux.mycompany.com.  And my friend told me that it is because my postfix is taken over by sendmail.  So I stop my sendmail.. and restart the postfix.. postfix start fine..  but I still cannot send mail via postfix as the source address that define in main.cf  "myorigin=abc.com" when I am using root.  

Once you modify the mc file, you need to run m4 against it to build the 
new cf file.

As later I tried to start both sendmail and postfix and using the postfix command (mail -s "subject" david at yahoo.com < /file using other user account for example david instead of root.  It does show the source address as david at abc.com.  But I wonder it doesn't apply to root.  Anyone can tell me??

And I found that my source email address is always root at mylinux.mycompany.com. mylinux is my hostname and mycompany is my company domain name. but how can change my source email address to root at abc.com or myname at abc.com?? where is the setting??? Is that in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ? But I don't know where should I change.
