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.

As later I tried to start both sendmail and postfix and using the postfix command (mail -s "subject" david@xxxxxxxxx < /file using other user account for example david instead of root. It does show the source address as david@xxxxxxxx But I wonder it doesn't apply to root.
