Well, the multi-instance specifically shows examples of generic_rewriting,
that expose the origin machine of root's email. You can rewrite
r...@$myorigin in any way you see fit via smtp_generic_maps. If you want
r...@$myhostname, you can use that. I prefer to never generate envelopes
with @machine domains, since then null-clients don't need to run network
facing MTAs (SMTP server limited to loopback or turned off entirely).
