PHP uses a method similar to mail to send e-mail.  Postnuke must not set 
the From: <> header attribute correctly.  It may be configurable.  Check 
your config file.  As for mail, it will send mail as user@`hostname`. 
 What is yours set to?  Run hostname -a.  If it comes back 
localhost.localdomain, set it using hostname -s 'desired.hostname'
