This is more of a straight Linux question ... you
probably need to either set hostname for your
machine(s) or configure sendmail (assuming you're
using the default mailer) properly to set the correct
"from" address. You won't find the answer on the
asterisk wiki or mailing-list archives, I suspect. :)

Try reading the man pages for hostname and sendmail
... or do a google search. I remember having to do
something like that myself a while ago when I was
setting up my Linux boxen. 

Cheers,
