Do your sender templates in question contain this?  If not, add it to 
the top

From: "$postmastername" <$localpostmaster>


In fact, they should contain the following in some form:

From: "$postmastername" <$localpostmaster>

To: $from

Subject: example subject

X-%org-name%-MailScanner: generated
