Yes, it is in your /etc/mail.conf (Don't you have it ?)
------------------------------------------------
# Zmailer host dependent information
#
# Where am I?
orgdomain=utu.fi <--- apply your own
# Who am I?
#hostname=polaris.$orgdomain
hostname=$orgdomain
# What do I tell people?
mydomain=$orgdomain
# World hack!
world=world.$orgdomain
#
# rrouter.cf uses these..
: ${BITNETACTION:="smtp figbox.funet.fi"} <-- choose your nearest
: ${UUCPACTION:="smtp mail.eunet.fi"} <-- choose your nearest
------------------------------------------------
You get that source-routing into the TRANSPORT ENVELOPE when
`hostname' != `mydomain'. (Transport-envelope gets written on
"From_", but not on "From:")

PS: Things look promising on "mea" release RSN, maybe tonight..
(Solaris shell-io dumps core, but SunOS 4.1.3 compiled binary
router runs just fine on Solaris 2.3 machine :-/ )
