Need to change the source address in sendmail

[jim martin]

sorry me again.  I just found that david at abc.com source address that I had successfully used was not taken from my postfix conf  as it was defined as cba.com in /etc/postfix/main.cf  but my sendmail.mf file is defined as MASQUERADE_AS(`abc.com').  I am getting confused again.  What is command to use sendmail to send mail and what is that for postfix?  When I type mail -s "subject" david at yahoo.com < /file , I am using postfix or sendmail??  I thought the sendmail command is sendmail instead of mail  ??

In fact, I did install postfix before and configured the /etc/postfix/main.cf 's myorigin=abc.com but it still shown as root at mylinux.mycompany.com. And my friend told me that it is because my postfix is taken over by sendmail. So I stop my sendmail.. and restart the postfix.. postfix start fine.. but I still cannot send mail via postfix as the source address that define in main.cf "myorigin=abc.com" when I am using root. 

what my friend told me was it is because, I am still using Sendmail, namely because sendmail(1) is the Sendmail MTA and not Postfix' sendmail binary. 

BUT I wonder what he said is true or not now. As later I tried to start both sendmail and postfix and using the postfix command (mail -s "subject" david at yahoo.com < /file using other user account for example david instead of root. It does show the source address as david at abc.com. But I wonder it doesn't apply to root. Anyone can tell me??

And I found that my source email address is always root at mylinux.mycompany.com. mylinux is my hostname and mycompany is my company domain name. but how can change my source email address to root at abc.com or myname at abc.com?? where is the setting??? Is that in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ? But I don't know where should I change.
