After moving to a new host running Ubuntu 10.10 I get in outgoing mails

These are headers; postfix does not "fix" them unless you explicitly
tell it to.
The only way postfix will add a From: header /different from the
envelope sender/ is when you submit mail via sendmail(1) that does not
have one - and even then it is not the postfix smtp daemon that does
this, strictly speaking; it is independent sendmail(1) functionality
that works even when postfix is not running.
In sender_canonical I have
privat@localhost ulrich.laut...@t-online.de
and in generic
privat@honolulu.local ulrich.laut...@t-online.de
Postfix will apply one of the above, not both, to unqualified sender
addresses (since one of the above will match unqualified sender
addresses; it is hard to see how any sender could match both.)
hostname gives honolulu
domainname gives (none)
You should probably fix that, then.
Proper domain awareness is not a trivial afterthought in SMTP - it is in
fact a core property intended to be able to identify mail systems and
-hosts in SMTP conversations and log files.
I can, for example, tell that you haven't set this up properly by the
simple fact that you have dual sender mappings - if you (and more
relevantly, postfix) knew what was what, you would not need this.
(Granted, there are conceivable situations where you might want
different outgoing sender mappings than global address mappings, but
those are not likely to be among your objectives right now.)
so how can I get rid of the "privat" in the From: field?
Slightly related: how do I find the version of my postfix-installation?
# postconf mail_version
