The mail header "from" domain of any mail sent to our company's server is replaced by server's domain.

For example:

[email protected] send an email to our server(company.com). We see the sender of this email is [email protected].

I do not know the reason. Please help me. Thanks!

Turn off the masquerading options:

You can have your host masquerade as another using

  MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain')

This causes mail being sent to be labeled as coming from the indicated host.domain, rather than $j.
