[TriLUG] sendmail header question

[Turnpike Man]

Here are my headers as I was testing (and successfully tested) sending emails
to an AOL user this morning:

> ----------------------- Headers --------------------------------
> Return-Path: <myemail at mydomain.com>
> Received: from  rly-xm03.mx.aol.com (rly-xm03.mail.aol.com [172.20.83.104]) 
> by air-xm04.mail.aol.com (v92.17) with ESMTP id MAILINXM41-81f43e846c79267; 
> Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:38:33 -0500
> Received: from  localhost.localdomain (rdu25-28-017.nc.rr.com 
> [24.25.28.17]) by rly-xm03.mx.aol.com (v92.16) with ESMTP id 
> MAILRELAYINXM35-5ff3e846c3b228; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:37:31 -0500
> Received: from mydomain.com (bertha [127.0.0.1])
>     by localhost.localdomain (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id h2SFO6q01763
>     for <NsconductSPLATcom>; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:24:06 -0500
> Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 15:24:05 -0000
> To: <NsconductSPLATcom>
> Subject: from D M on NCrail
> From: "D M" <myemail at mydomain.com>
> X-Mailer: TWIG 2.7.7
> Message-ID: <twig.1048865045.28714 at mydomain.com>
> Reply-To: myemail at mydomain.com

sorry I had to genericize the header... question should still be logical...

What I don't understand is why the Received: from is localhost.localdomain and
bertha is 127.0.0.1 and the by localhost.localdomain are in these headers! 
What and or where should I be looking to fix this problem!  If I was to ditch
Exchange for sendmail, I'd have the same issue at corporate b/c I obviously
haven't learned enough! Thanks!
