I dont know what mail server the local server is running, but there is an
option in sendmail to override any attempts at address changes, I believe
it is the masquerade option.  this gave me some trouble in pine for
awhile..somehow that option got set by another admin or an alien from a
far awy planet and it was automatically changing my specified header back
to the hostname of the system.

there are probably similar options on other servers(other then
sendmail) that do this too.

sorry i dont know enough about perl or how to manually modify mail headers
to check your code if that is the problem :)
