One addendum about how to distinguish from root@mydomain
from different hosts.

I forgot to mention that FreeBSD daily/security/weekly/monthly email
messages have the hostname in the Subject. Like this:
Subject: hostname.porcupine.org weekly run output
Subject: hostname.porcupine.org daily run output
Subject: hostname.porcupine.org daily security run output
They arrive in the same mailbox, and there is confusion about their
provenance.

Set up a virtual alias
r...@dayjob.org root@localhost
or
r...@host.dayjob.org root@localhost
(which one depends on myorgin and masquerade_xxx settings).
The Postfix local delivery agent will then respect the local
aliases database.
