I have a zimbra server fooled into thinking it hosts a particular domain. Part of the fooling involves setting a different SMTP server than localhost for all outgoing mail. Luckily, Zimbra can do that.
The downside of that is that when you send mail to “root”, the other SMTP server qualifies it with its domain and the mail appears to be coming from the wrong server.
To fix it, specify this in the /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf:
myorigin = example.com
This seems to work without caveats. However, I don’t know if zimbra overwrites this config file at some point.
As always, pick a domain that exists, otherwise a lot of mailservers won’t accept it. You don’t even need an MX record, A or CNAME if enough.
