 mime-construct is handing off to sendmail (in your case, postfix is
impersonating sendmail) and is not specifying a from address to the
MTA. If you want to change the behavior of mime-construct to do this,
you apply the following patch to mime-construct and then adjust the
mailfax script to include the --from option with the email address you
want the emailed faxes to appear to come from.

the user the script is run as)
