Anne,

with switch to the new and current stable Postfix line 2.3 the 
previously applied hostname patch was removed:

* Mo Jul 24 2006 Thomas Woerner <twoerner at redhat.com> 2:2.3.0-1
 
- new version 2.3.0
- dropped hostname-fqdn patch

So this explains why you face a different behaviour.

If you really want to send mail as originating from @david.lydgate.lan, 
then set in main.cf

myorigin = david.lydgate.lan

Test your change with "postconf myorigin".
